The reason I decided to return it wasn't because of the pinpricks, or that it was yellow at the top and white at the bottom (like cr3nk), or because the dark was grey - but because it barfed on my Japanese e-books. I will be living in Japan from next month and I may as well buy one there after the firmware works with Japanese books and hopefully the issues with the screen have been sorted. As a bonus, it will probably be half price too! The Kobo Glo is currently 8000 yen in Japan which is about 55 GBP, nearly half of the UK price.
The Kobo Glo is amazingly cheap alright (about $78 tax inc) but it's two gens old tech. So far there's been no indication of the Aura being released over here in Japan.
