Hi all,

First post on these forums, I have just recently acquired my Global Kindle 2.

When cleaning the Kindle as I had bought a nice book style case to put it in. I noticed tiny little dots on the screen, they are not dirt or anything like that. They dont come off and look like a tiny e-ink dot. There are about 3 of these around the screen and no matter what I do they don't come off.

I have tried manually refreshing the screen, turning the device on and off, doing a manual reset. I have also put full images on the screen to try and refresh the device.

However nothing works, they don't really detract from the device when in normal use, I have also seen them when cleaning the device at close range.

However I just wondered if anyone else had noticed this?
