Can you believe it, my fourth Kobo in a week and they were all faulty! 
So on a whim I checked the Argos store in my nearest large mall, about 35 miles away, they had a H20 in stock, so I reserved it and went to pick it up.
It's perfect, absolutely gorgeous, no issues with it at all. I've connected it to Calibre and downloaded a few hundred books, add my fonts and the true screen reading hack and everything is running seamlessly. The home screen is at full brightness, the chapter page is at the lowest setting.
I'm very very happy

Looking like the in store attempt worked out for you after all. Congrats!
That's pretty much why I prefer to buy in store when I can - I usually find that I always get a good device in store, versus shipping it from somewhere.
I've handled 5 H2Os in person (including the one I purchased) and know a coworker who got one - be had to exchange the first due to some light guide issues, but the second was perfect
Hope you enjoy your new H2O at the beach sometime! Mine's already spent time in a rain shower while waiting for a bus. The only issue was having to wipe the screen clear.
