I said I threw the towel on Aura and keep Aura HD.

Well, I changed my mind haha. I decided to keep my third Aura. Third time's the charm?
Like I said my only issue was the bright line on top so I finally get one that only show a little bit of the line. It seemed like every unit has that bright line thing, just a matter of how severe each one is.

I still think for that much money the screen should be perfect but I so love the form factor of Aura. It's small convenient and for someone who reads mainly before sleep, lying down in bed, the weight and form factor matters (while Aura HD perfect screen made me very happy, my arms beg to differ when reading lying down).

So all said and done, I do however has a very low tech remedy on the bright line on top. I cover it with a sticker (left over from Gelaskins). (very thin like 1mm). Once the bright line is gone, the lighting on the screen look very even indeed. I'm a happy camper!

PS: Did anyone tear apart their aura yet? I am thinking of a permanent solution if the top is just a cover...
