The pattern problem from that thread on the Glo is different than the pattern on the Aura. On the Glo it seems to be a defective screen for those seeing it. I have a Glo and there's absolutely nothing like it on my reader at all... not from any angle, any exterior light source, nor any brightness setting for the Glo light. The Aura though seems to have a diamond-shaped pattern across the entire screen as part of the device (possibly from the capacitive touch layer?), which is visible (and annoying to some) depending on the light source, viewing angle, eyesight, etc.

I'd suggest trying to take a look at a Glo. Or since you can freely return it if purchased online, you might try it. I think the Glo has the best light out there between all the front-lit readers available (even across the screen, no color blotches) and the hardware is about as perfect as you can get.
