No one has received their units yet. Videos and pictures have photo lens corruption. We won't really know until next week.
When I took a photo of my 2012 Paperwhite screen, everyone here saw all kinds of blotches which were never visible on the unit, itself. I've also ordered the KFHDX 2013 7" 32 Gb WiFi which I will receive on Oct. 18, 2013. I have a hunch both 2013 units will blow away the "old" 2012 units. If you postpone your orders, you may not even receive them by Christmas once public demand soars. |

What I meant was: my KPW doesn't have them. If it had, I would see them. It also has no color shifts; it only has the 4 shadowy blobs on the bottom that they all have. Quote:
![]() OK... I'm playing this a bit "falsch" (as Gollum would say it). Everybody knows my eyesight is bad, so if I want something changed, the only thing I need to say is: "It's required because of my eyesight problems", and nobody asks any questions anymore if I want to change anything to a weird setting ![]() Last edited by Katsunami; 09-25-2013 at 05:11 PM. |

I am one of the people who saw the blotches on every single init they received last year and ended up settling for the least bad devices, so I feel I "deserve" a good unit this time around. Very hopeful that the bruised screens are all in the past!!! |

ya, the screen seems to look a lot better in comparison to the PW1.
Really wonder if the quality will be like that among all units... I'll just wait until the first people receive their PW2 If quality varies too much I'll cancel my pre-order (Germany). Last edited by freezer2k; 09-27-2013 at 07:58 PM. |

No
![]() It's really simple: if you want to embed a youtube video, use "youtube" tags as follows: 1. Your original youtube link: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Zol9lvCsONs 2. You insert the text: [ youtube ]Zol9lvCsONs[ /youtube ] in your post (without the spaces). Only insert the video ID between the "youtube" tags, not the complete URL! 3. ...The result is: Spoiler:
If in doubt, hit Quote and you'll see the "source code" ![]() Last edited by ixtab; 09-28-2013 at 04:35 AM. |

We saw the huge variations with the PW1 screens, I really hope they've learnt from that and aren't making the same mistake again. I would guess though that they're probably quite keen to minimise the number of returns this time, so a screen that doesn't look like a dog's dinner would certainly help ![]() Last edited by Yolina; 09-28-2013 at 05:12 AM. |
