I understand why you'd think that. But I'm looking at it right now and I count 4 noticeable scratches, each 1-3 inches long running from the top edge of the Aura. There are also 3 "scuff" marks that look like patches of dirt right in the middle of the screen. Thinking that's what it was, I gave it a thorough cleaning with alcohol lens wipes. They are definitely scratches.
In the middle and bottom of the screen, there are a bunch of small scratches running in various directions.
I thought perhaps there was something in the sleeve that was causing it, but it's clean.
Interestingly enough, the big scuffs, which are the most annoying and noticeable to me, were not there yesterday. All I did with the reader today was read on the couch. I put it away when I was finished.
The biggest concern to me is that it *should* take some sort of noticeable impact to scratch one of these. I *should* know, unequivocally, that I caused a scratch on my screen.
The problem with that is that if I were Kobo, I wouldn't believe my story and chalk it up to misuse.
There is a part of me that just wants to buy a new reader despite the fact that I just spent $100 on this one. This is going to drive me insane.
