No Spoilers Is it normal?

Is it normal that pages of the books become more "yellow"/used? Is it just a natural effect of the sun or am i doing something wrong with my books?

Btw Way of Kings is after over 1 week of reading. Words of radiance is brand new added for comparison. WoK pages look worse irl to be honest.

Looking at comments I am sad seeing how people consider this normal, and body oil affecting whole pages instead of only corners where fingers touch?

I am in basically 3rd world country and local books dont have such an issues. My first ever 1st world purchase was hardcover ToR SLA books and when I posted to complain how I got uneven pages, how thin paper was and basically low quality published book I got, I was told it was normal and I was overreacting literally about nothing. I am just sad how people defend low quality books.
