Pre-Vizplex EInk, e.g. on early iLiads, was susceptible to fading. We know that the majority of Vizplex screens don't fade, and Amazon replaced Kindles if the owners complained of fading. Amazon has lenient return policies, but replacing the Kindle would not work if most screens fade.

If you get a fading screen, ask for a new one. The vendors don't advertise that this is a potential problem because most EInk screens are not used outdoors and some owners won't complain about the fading.
