Up to you, but it looks a lot like my Glo. If you tip the device almost upright and peer down into the lower part of the bezel you'll notice that's where the LEDs that illuminate the front lighting layer are positioned. The earlier firmware for the Glo, Kobo's first attempt at front lighting, had the option of displaying a transparent or black bar at the bottom of the screen -likely as an attempt at appeasing customers who might be bothered by the minor shadowing effect around the LEDs. I guess you can fault them for not extending the front lighting layer a bit further below the bezel, but there may have been other reasons why that wasn't a good solution.
Personally, on a regular full page of text I really don't pay attention to it when reading as the text stops above the area affected. At any rate, I find myself willing to put up with it for the advantage of built-in lighting vs. the absolute never ending hassle of external lighting.
I'm sure those with Aura HDs will have more to say.
