I don’t know if I got unlucky or what but I went through 9 kindle Paperwhite 2024’s before I got a front light that was perfectly even.

I am currently on my 2nd kindle scribe 2025 which I am about to return because it’s front light has a gradient across the screen, and while slight, I can still tell which side has the lights installed because it’s brighter.

I have a 2024 scribe which I bought used and somehow has a perfect front light, but I do like the 2025 due to higher contrast, lighter weight, faster speed, more storage space.

I am sort of willing to do the whole return game again but it is a draining process and frustrating too.

Am I being too picky? I do a lot of reading at night and I’m just really perceptive to light changes on these things and I feel like if I’m spending my money on a premium device I should have no compromises.

I’m also feeling like whatever Amazon is doing to manufacture devices with carta 1300 is yielding extremely low amounts of even light throw. Seeing as how many paperwhites I’ve gone through and the fact that the 2024 with a carta 1200 looks perfect off the rip.

Just curious where you place it in the chain, I’m thinking about putting it at the end right before the AD. Also finding that it takes some life out of the upper midrange with “space” engaged. Maybe need to put it before an EQ instead?

I like what it is doing a lot on certain material but it is definitely something you have to be careful with. Not a lot of user experience info online about this piece
