That makes it obvious where the are. And the one on the H2O isn't where you described it above.

The Youtube video is very unclear so it's best viewed in full screen and 1080p but the location of the pinholes are all on the same place as the first image above.
Is a 17.3" laptop at 1920*1080 good enough?

If you stop the video at 4:42, the pinhole on the H2O is on the right side just above the word "of" or 8:33 and 8:55 where it's more noticeable with a blank/black background. On 2:32 to 2:37 of the video, the device moved and they are still on the same spot.
I can see the one at 4:42 and 8:33, but not really at 2:32. There is something about the one on the H2O that looks wrong for it to be a bright spot. Maybe it's just that the light level is low enough for it not to glow as brightly as the ones I have seen.

And as I said, have the reviewers commented on this anywhere? They seem to like picking Kobo apart, so I would think they would mention this and crucify Kobo for this.

The Glo HD is a new product so i doubt there will be many reports on it yet if any. I was deciding between the Glo HD or H2O and not trying to look for problems but just happen to came across pinholes on both device in a single review. I think eReaders no matter which brand all have the same issues and I don't think the quality control has improve at all.[/QUOTE]

I strongly disagree. When the Glo was released, the reports of bright spots started happening IMMEDIATELY. And kept happening for months. The same with the Aura HD. Both of these have improved and the reports dropped off until they virtually disappeared. And, as I said, there have been very few reports with the Aura H2O and Glo HD. Both devices have been out long enough that if this was a big problem, we would have heard about it.
