WHS were kind enough to swap it for another, which had two pinpricks of light. They opened the two more they'd received in and they were the same. In fact the only one that was OK was the demo on display. I ended up leaving without one. Shame because they were scanning at £115.38 and WHS were giving a £5 voucher if you activate instore, so it would have been almost a £10 saving on the RRP!

Is yours OK?
Looks like that answers my question from a few weeks ago:

Looks like Kobo Aura screen is plastic, not glass

Wondering if it's susceptible to light leakage from pinholes like some other front lit readers?
