I'm not discounting what you are saying (I don't think you are making it up!), but I've never had a problem with the black border. Actually, I've never heard any complaints about it before either. I bought mine in June, and the border is glossy, but I haven't noticed glare or reflections when used under natural lighting conditions.

Are you having this problem all the time, or just when using a book light? I can tell you that using a book light can be frustrating with the nook. There is literally one position that I can use mine (angled from the left side) and not get a glare or reflection. Now that I know that position though, it is not an issue (though I rarely read in the dark).
