Question Does the white Kobo Glo discolour?
I read this was an issue with the Touch (although it may have been fixed by now). Just wondering if the while Glo also discolours i.e. from leather cases.

"Fixed" by whom? I would have thought that any pale ereader could discolour from rubbish cases with leaching dye.

I have had a white touch for nearly 18 months. No discolouration at all - it's been in a case the whole time if that makes any difference.

My son has a black one (same age). It hasn't discoloured but it does show finger marks on the surround quite badly.

Indeed. Discolouration is due to the case, not the ereader's plastic. My white Touch has grey smudges on the back because of the grey suede inside of the case. So for my Glo, I bought a synthetic cover that does not give away it's dye to anything it touches...
