As a Mother I say "The ignore button is awesome" it makes reading threads so much nicer sometimes.

1. Was the same file uploaded to the PW in both ie mobi vs azw vs different conversion settings (ie line height code)? 2. Did you change the margins or line spacing on one of the PW? 3. Is the font the exact same or did you embed a font? |

Given the photos, I would take the PW2 over your NT any day. The PW in the photos appear to have more contrast compared to the grays of the NT. I found when I changed from sony to PW1 and from PW1 to aura and then back to PW2, that the contrast and lighting that looked "weird" at first due to the different white balance colour temp quickly become the new "norm" after reading for a few hours or a day and no longer noticeable. |

Josie, I am sorry for your loss.
I received both PW2. One is a tad more yellow than the other and has 1 pinhole. I am keeping it for myself. The other one is creamier and has no pinholes at all, and that one, the perfect one, goes to my mom. The pinhole on mine is very near to the frame on the left hand side and ends up being in the margin, so I think I'll be fine with it. I really looked for pinholes. Had I not known it was a possibility, I might never have found it. The yellow and cream tendencies are really hard to catch, it just feels nice in general, and it's by putting them side by side that I saw the difference, but it's a tiny one really, and were it not for the pinhole I would have had a hard time deciding which one is the best (thus for my mom). I am not disappointed at all, the contrast is fine for me. Now I'll pack my moms back in the box, select a nice case for her and wrap it up all nice and shiny with ribbons and all. She will love it. ![]() Last edited by aceflor; 10-16-2013 at 02:39 PM. |

Maybe if the issues is purely of comparison, it is one thing. If you don't have multiple Kindles or e-ink readers to compare, maybe that way you can remain ignorant. But if you are sensitive to light blotches, hues, pinholes or that kind of issues, they will manifest themselves to you anyway. Blessed aren't the ignorant, but those who don't care. ![]() |

Thanks everyone for the condolences.
Both PW2s are boxed up to go back. I do want one but will probably wait now until after Christmas and try again. |

I seem to have been lucky, no pinholes or blotching I can see, tad yellow but not overly so.
Bought in the UK so not first production batchs I guess helps. |

Has anyone done a replacement through the web site? I notice on My Orders page, there is a return or replace button.
Yes, I'd rather fill out a form than talk to a live person ![]() |
