Actually I don't know if my expectations are too high or if this specific Aura has a sub-par screen.

The picture quality isn't that great, maybe it's hard to see the differences. People around me notice the shadow at the top too, but they have never seen a frontlit ereader before. |
All right, so I've had my Aura exchanged last Saturday.
The uneven screen (yellow at the top, blue at the bottom) and one defective pixel were bothering me. It was taken back no question asked and the customer service person I've seen showed me more defective pixels on the very top right of the screen. It will likely be sent back as a defective unit.
The new one has a more even screen. The (nicely) yellowish part covers most of the screen. So far I didn't noticed any defective pixel, but a friend pointed some clearer pixels when the brightness is at 100% and the Aura hold a certain way (not a way allowing to read on it, though).
I like this one better
