Now backlight bleeding is an intentional feature! Bet Apple is kicking itself that it didn't think of that first.

Explain like exactly what is the purpose of this thread...

I'm sure the purpose is to argue that a defect is, in fact, a feature, but... based on all that Amazon has said, it really does seem that this decision is, overall, a plus. Colors are great, etc. If the tablets were, say, $400, it'd be different, but they aren't.

The 8.9-inch HDX is nearly $400 at 379 for the 16 GB.

Yes, but that's the iPad Air equivalent. The smaller one (which I meant, but I was unclear about) is $229. Either way, it's a lot less than equivalent Apple products.
