Hello! I apologize if this is a normal thing and I'm just unaware. (Posted on ereader sub and haven't gotten any response yet)

I've returned two 12th generation Kindle Paperwhites and am on my 3rd now contemplating a different ereader for many reasons. One huge one is when I first turn on my kindle, everything is crisp and looks great. Then after a while of reading (not very long, like 20 minutes) certain areas of the screen where the words are will start to look less crisp, borderline blurry. If I change the page its the same on the next. When I turn it off and rub the screen as if I'm cleaning it, it will go away for a minute or two then come right back.

My speculation is this is from Kindles screen not being flush against the e-ink screen (hopefully I explained that well).

Is this normal for e-ink devices or is mine just whack? Is it a Kindle Paperwhite thing? I had a Boox palma for a little bit and it never did this. Also, I'm not sure if I flaired this correctly.
