Hi!

I bought my (second!) Aura H2O at the beginning of December for an Italian bookstore retailer. The package has arrived around the 10th of December. Previously, I have bought a similar device from Saturn retailer in Germany. However, after I had opened it, I noticed a slight cut-out of the front plastic panel from the body of the device in the upper right corner. They have recognized the problem (after sending some pictures) but, unfortunately, because I live in Romania, they (and also Kobo Canada) could not find a solution to solve my problem (even if I told them I will ship the device back on my own expense). A bad mark from me...But because I really liked the device, I had ordered it again at the Italian retailer.

Anyway...

Experience up to now. I am very glad with the way the device works, the reading is very pleasant due to the very glaring text. The customization is above average and certainly helps the user in many ways.

However, while recently reading quite a lot using the illumination of the device, I have noticed that the bottom part of the screen is darker, like it's not lighted as good as the rest of the screen. I am talking about a space amounting to 1 or 2 lines of text. Does anybody has this problem? Is it normal?

Thanks!
