I wonder if it's just that the glue has aged? (The adhesive of whatever kind, attaching the touch layer to the glass substrate.) Another thread said that people's kindles (Oasis, in that case?? I forget) got better with time.

My own PW2 has not improved in this regard. I just don't notice it during normal use. It becomes very noticeable for me in landscape view, which I use sparingly. |

I bought two of the refurbished generation 8 Kindle Basics when they were on sale from Amazon before Christmas 2017. Looked to be new except for the packaging and they were on sale for circa $40 each. Still acting like new units. I also bought a 3G and Wi-Fi Voyage from a Ebay seller that, based on the number listed as available, was excess stock from somewhere. Again in new condition and about 1/2 the price of an Amazon new one.
