Somehow, it reminds me of the first Paperwhite batches. Many people had to do several exchanges before having an even, bright spots free screen. And now everyone seems to enjoy their Paperwhites |

My mum bought a Kobo Glo today, and I had a good look at the screen while setting it up - perfect, just like mine.

I want to just pull my hair out at this point. Kobo did give me a return, but they also rebilled me for the same amount. So there's a sale, a return, and a rebilling. It's as if I never got the return. Obviously, this means another dispute and another headache. How long am I going to keep doing this? Will I still be doing this in a month, in 6 months? arrrgh.

I bought one 4 days ago and gave it a test run. I was pretty happy, then I noticed a dead pixel. Returned it no problem for a new one. Same thing except this one is a lot more obvious! And there is a second dead pixel on this newer one a little less obvious. So here I am with the second one worse than the first. Not sure whether to go try a third? I was really wanting one of these but now very doubtful. Not sure what to do?! So I researched on the internet for a problem like mine and found this thread. I registered just so I can leave a comment here. Any suggestions? Thx!

I think you'll be very happy once you get an Aura with no flaws. Go with the baseball mentality and go for three swings. If you strike out a third time, well, you just have bad luck scoring one of these devices. If that's the case just go with a Glo |

Has anyone noticed that occasionally the bottom line in the stats box when reading a book sometimes cuts off the bottoms of the words on the last line in the book. Almost like taking a small sheet of paper to cover the bottom of the words.

Well guys, if you do have a bright spot (as I do on my kobo glo) try to look at it in a different angle with full brightness (preferably in a dark room), on my screen, the text under the bright spot (or dead pixel as many members call it) is perfectly fine, so it isn't really a dead pixel, the problem is in the light layer which contains this random bright spots (i have two of them) that's why using the reader without the front light won't let you spot any dead or missed pixels. I can live with it

7 Kobo Auras with bright spots...
Hallo,
I've had 7 different Kobo Auras with bright spots, and 2 with uneven lighting. The first 4 I've ordered via Coolblue.nl, who where so kind to let me return all of them and gave me my money back. The other 3 where ordered via Wehkamp.nl, I've just returned the seventh Kobo Aura today... Most stupid is that I have the Sleepcover for some weeks now, but no ereader If someone will ask me if I can recommend the Kobo Aura, I'm sure what to answer hehe Greetings from Holland, Sybrand |
