Hello, I'm the anon who was also considering buying a Paperwhite, so thanks for being so detailed about your experiences with it! I have a question, though. As far as I can tell, the negative 1 star reviews on Amazon date from October 2012, which I'm assuming is the release date of the new Kindle.

My question is, when did you get yours? I'm trying to see if this is a problem that newly-released Paperwhites had or if they still haven't fixed the issue, almost a year later.

I got mine December 2012. The latest one-star review from 2012 has comments on it as recent as July 2013 making the same complaints, so yeah, I think it's still a problem, even with the firmware update from November. But apparently the issue is quite uncommon, so that also means your chances of getting a perfectly fine Paperwhite are probably pretty good. Keep in mind that mine is also a trade-in, so there's every chance it's refurbished.

ayrt :/ oh damn. My problem is, I won't be buying it directly from Amazon and it won't be me the one who buys it. I'm not from the USA which means I have zero chances of returning it if it comes faulty. I just wanted to check if it was such a widespread problem, but I think it's worth a shot if, as you say, the issue is rare. Thank you for the info! :) Here's a duckling to repay you: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=oV3MXD7pzkw

No problem! I hope you get a good one, it's a great tool. Ah, hell, now I'm gonna spend all night in the adorable duck part of Youtube, haha, thanks.

ayrt You're welcome! But I know the duckling part of youtube can be absorbing, so here's an alternative: surprised otter! http://farm3.staticflickr.com/2775/4411349240_68d2c9499a_o.gif *wuchuchuchu nya!*

I have a Paperwhite (which I love!), and which I bought in January 2013. No problems with it whatsoever, and I love the screen's adjustable backlight, especially for reading in bed at night.
