I just love that name and wanted to erase the memory of the bad K's from my memory and start all over. Is that verboten? :-) edit: just dawned on me (pun intended) that Rae is appropriate because we've been through some 'sun' ray problems.  |

It's your Kindle and you can do what you want to. Sorry to sound like a song from the fifties, but there you go. |

Ok, you two. If we are not careful we will hijack this thread into the "drooping" skins one. Yay for the good K2!  |

I've been a little afraid to test mine out also. We have had so much gloom & doom weather lately, that there hasn't been much opportunity since I read the detailed thread on how to do the test.
I'll be home Saturday & the forecast is for sunshine & 70+ degrees, so I am planning to check it out. Hoping I will be celebrating spring AND having a non-fading Kindle screen.

Yep- all faded but to different degrees. I even asked CS if I was nuts and they assured me that the fades were too extreme and they will find me a good one. I hope so and I hope I don't wind up with a dark screen as a tradeoff.

Mine's a keeper, too! It was a very bright day, temperature got above 70. I had the rays shining directly on the screen & did the page forward test, with no fading. I am really glad. I was afraid I would need to send it back & didn't want to get a refurbished one. I'm attached to the one I have, but it doesn't have a name. (I am really challenged with names of people - I didn't want to tax my brain by giving Kindle a name.) |
