Who knew chocolate cake could be copyrighted?

A very good question. Maybe there chocolate cake police that prowl all the internet, looking for someone who has used a picture of a copyrighted cake, so they can turn them in.

ROFL!  Sounds like the basis for a funny movie....  maybe starring Peter Sellers?

sob - this one not only faded, but had a horrible case creak!  I tell you I'm now about to give up.  I live in So CA, and read outside so much that I really need one that holds up to the sun...

vg,
I feel so sorry for you.
I was just outside in the bright sunlight reading on my lunch break.  With my K2 in full sunlight.
And no fade at all - changed pages a lot. And as I have said elsewhere no squeaky case at all - never from the first on Feb 25th.  In another thread, it was mentioned that the K2 plastic case had been damaged by the Amazon case hinge system.  I have it and the Medge Go with the same hingel. No problems.  My K2 has been rock solid since the first that I got it.  And while I originally felt that the background was too dark compared to the fonts, after 2.0.2 sometime, it seemed to me that my background got lighter.  Now I am truly happy. 
So I would recommend that you keep trying to "get a good one".  I have to assume that all the hundreds (maybe even thousands) of K2 users here on KB that have no complaints is because they "have no complaints" as in nothing to complain about.  So let's get you in the same situation - return it and demand a good one.
Just sayin......

thanks, geoffthomas,

The creak was a new one for me, too, and the Kindle was even fading from just sitting next to a window in full sun and trying to read. I just got back from the UPS store and am waiting on one for tomorrow.  I sent back two in one day, and received an email that one is back, but they don't have info on the other.  Hope it makes it - I was in a rush the day I dropped it off and didn't wait for the receipt so now I have no way to track it and no proof I dropped it off.  Everyone take a lesson from that and always get a receipt!  Hopefully it turns up in the next day or two....
