Is the slight yellow gradient on Kindle Oasis normal?
I just bought an Oasis 2017 and when I increase the brightness above 18 there is a slight dimming/gradient at the left of the screen away from the buttons. It’s especially noticeable if I rotate the device upside down when the tint shifts to the right of the screen away from the buttons. I came from a Kindle Paperwhite 2012 which had dark cones at the bottom so is this gradient normal?

I do not notice it on my Oasis. If you read at a light level that high it will zap your battery life

Even when I read a paperback, the room lighting leaves one part of the page slightly dimmer than the other side. Specially in towards the binding. Strange how we never notice *that*!

This is clearly intolerable and the makers of electric lights should be ashamed of themselves. It's never like that in the sun! (Except when cloudy.)

I think the question should not be "Is it normal?", rather, "Is it acceptable?" on a device that costs this much. I would be much more willing to accept this on a PW that is 1/2 the cost of an Oasis. You've heard the saying "You get what you pay for". That's usually said to denigrate a cheaper piece of equipment. But it should apply to the higher cost premium stuff too. You should get what you pay for.
