I also was very excited and fell for the hype but I am also very disappointed with the Aura I got, I posted about it in the main Aura HD thread. Maybe my screen is in fact defective, but (with the light off) it's ever so slightly darker than the screen on my Nook Simple Touch and significantly darker than the screen on my sister's Kindle. My sister confirmed and although her first impression was "it looks great!" when I asked her to compare it to her kindle's screen she was surprised to see that the Aura's screen is visibly worse.
I have contacted Kobo and I want to return it for a refund as well. If I don't hear from them soon, I'll dispute the charge with my credit card.
I'm not interested in an exchange because even if the screen was ok I didn't realize how frustrated I'd be by the lack of buttons. I did try reading on it but hated it and couldn't stop myself from going back to my Nook Touch.

I, too, would return one if I had a unit as you describe. (I don't yet own one.)
Some individuals here posted some photos, in various Aura threads, and I'm wondering if yours is different than those photos?
Thanks.
