What one person considers to be a "faulty" device another person might be perfectly happy with.

What is true to say is that the overwhelming majority of people who receive PWs are perfectly satisfied with them.
I agree that people sometimes look for faults, but the screen on any Paperwhite 2 should be perfect. By perfect I mean no pinholes at any brightness level, the screen should aligned properly which is not hard to do, and there should be no large pieces of dust on the screen.

I am not even talking about the color or evenness of the lighting. It seems Amazon can barely get the first 3 so I do not want to ask for too much. I personally would gladly pay more for the PW2 if these first 3 items would be addressed.

I really don't think those are unreasonable expectations of a device.
