Screen Blemish?
Umm, so today is the first day I've sat down and tried to read on my PP. Has anyone else developed what you'd probably think of as like a dead pixel? I know it not LCD, but I have really really tiny dot that appears to be under the the screen. Not on the surface, and I did wipe with a microfiber, but no luck. Weird thing is it's their even when I cut the PP off.
It's a little nerve racking. It's like a magnet for my eyes. ![]() |

Ok, guess I'll live with it rather than get all weird about it. This should go in the list of things noobs should know.

Perhaps it is different to what Dave_S is talking about. I would probably contact tech support and see what they say about it if it is bothering you.

If they are like the imperfections in the link that I posted, then I think that you would need a camera with some kind of macro capability.

Hmmmmm, from what I can see in your macro photographs it looks like you have clusters of pixel bubbles that are not flipping properly. The black cluster above the first letter 'e' in the second line is especially noticeable! Are the noticeable black or white specks always in the same place on each screen refresh, or do they move with each new page? I was just wondering if you have some "dead pixel clusters" that never change? When I look at my e-Ink screens the specks move around sort of randomly with each screen update, but they are small enough that I do not really notice them unless I use a magnifying glass.

Personally, that defect would bother me. I have two e-ink Readers (ebookieuses

Do what I did. Send it back, and now that you've at least read a few types of books on it, and you know what style/format/font you like, spend the next couple weeks on "Calibre"ating your library. ![]() |
