Re: Kindle and Nook Owners, I have a Question for ya...

[Tom Jedrzejewicz <tomjedrz@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

I have had a Kindle 2 for well over a year and have read many, many
hours on it without ever experiencing the problem you describe.  I
love my Kindle!

Out of curiosity I googled.  Apparently, there is a problem with a
particular batch of the eInk screens, distributed among all of the
reader flavors.  You could exchange it.  I also read that some screen
protectors block UV and so eliminate the problem.  I put a screen
protector on my Kindle the day I got it, so I could have a bad screen
and not know it.
