I'm really grateful for your detailed replies. Here in Belgium it's impossible to buy a Kobo or a Kindle in the local stores because none of the stores sell them. Everything has to be bought online. I've changed my mind about returning it (thanks to you). First of all it'll take a long time to return it and get a new one (which probably has the same dark band as mine) and I don't think it's worth the effort. I just read a few minutes with the front light on and I don't really mind it at all. Second of all, I don't use the light a lot. When there's external light possible (any lamp close to me) I use that because I feel like it reads better than with the front light (and it saves battery too!).
