Most of my stills turned very yellow. even 2 pictures taken within a second from the same position would come out differently colored. one usually very yellow

it went back the day after i got hope. I would have done better to bring my 3 year old Powershot.

So I apologize for the lack of pictures most came out truly awful.
The poor lighting at a trade show is a fair excuse for less-skilled camerafolk, but I'm talking about when users get their hands on the newer DXs and put them side-by-side with their current models or other E-Ink displays. I won't be getting a Kindle DX, but since it's the first device I know of with supposedly higher contrast, it's the best early subject to get photographs of.

And as a tip...if you can't pre-set your white balance or if you end up in varied light...bring some kind of white balance reference for the main subject. For most people, a simple piece of medium-quality paper is sufficient.
