The current PW have uneven lighting. There will be dark patches. Mine have some.

Hmmm. Mine doesn't have dark patches but bright spots at where the LEDs are. But those only become noticeable at full lighting which I have never put at.

Mine's always on 14 but no dark patches. Only bright spots at 18-20. Well I guess u can call the non bright areas when the bright spots appear dark patches

With regards to the uneven lighting, there are 2 kinds. One is at the bottom; this is expected, it's how the light guides are built. Two is the rest of the screen; sometimes it does happen to a certain extent, but the majority is still quite/very good (unless it's really bad, then there's something wrong.)

The new 2013 version may not have these 'issues', remains to be seen. It's using eink technology (Carta) not seen in any product yet.

Once i have it. I will do a comparison. If not much difference then will sell off the new one.

First get a united state address free from

This will be the sending address.

Buy from amazon and ship to the united state address.

Then use either company to send it to Singapore.

I'll only buy another kindle e-ink device when amazon decides to upsize the screen. 6inch is too small to read comics on, and kindle dx is an abandoned project. 7inch kindle will be quite nice.
