I also see from your profile that you own a Paperwhite. Isn't this an ongoing issue with lit e-ink screens which is not confined to Kobo e-readers?

I have both a Paperwhite and a Kobo Aura HD. Neither one has a pinpoint light spot. My PW came from an early production run. It did have the splotches of lighter and darker screen that many complained about. I liked it, thought it made the screen look like parchment, but after a few weeks it went away.
It's a platitude to say that the jump from a perfect device on the lab bench to mass manufacturing the same device without flaws takes some time. The Paperwhte2s will be arriving in reader's hands next week and we would expect there to be some flawed devices, even though the change from a PW1 to a PW2 is less than the move to an entirely new product.
