Tony1988, are you talking about this pattern? (yeah, it's very hard to take a decent picture showing the problem)

I had that on my Glo. There is just no way I could read comfortably with this pattern etched on the upper part of my screen, it was just too distracting.

I didn't bother sending it back so I sold it to a less demanding friend of mine, but I'm pretty sure you can send it back if your display has this sort of thing, it is simply unacceptable for a Ereader!

Anyway, how's the contrast ratio with the light turned on? Bought an Aura HD last week but side by side compared with my 'old' gen. Paperwhite, the light settings do wash out the darkness of the fonts quite a bit. Not that much improvement from the Glo actually... Too bad, would have been the ideal Ereader if it didn't. Paperwhite wins easily on that regard. Aura any better?
