Exclamation White dot or Pinhole of light on a new kindle paperwhite
I bought a new Kindle Paperwhite 6, yesterday from the airport. When I start it on, I noticed a small pinhole of light visible in the upper right corner.
Is that ok?
Is it a defects?
Should I retuned it?
Does those Pinholes of light can develop over time?

Thank you so much for help

Contact Kindle. They'll send you a new one and you can return that one in the box the new one arrives in. For me, they paid postage both ways. Mine wasn't brand new and I told Kindle it seemed petty but the light distracted from my reading. They didn't hesitate to agree. Go for it.

These can be defects or damage to the light guide layer. If it's new out of the box, it's a defect, and if it bothers you by all means exchange it.
