To the OP:

Despite what some of the Kobo aficionados here will tell you, these "mysterious" substrata cracks seems to happen a lot more often to Kobo readers than to say, Kindles.

I have had three out of four Kobo Aura HDs end up with similar screen issues.

I don't mean to pick a fight with those happy with their Kobos, but these screen issues keep popping up and IMO it is an inherent problem with the construction/build quality of at least some Kobos.

Kobo's customer service will keep insisting that because the substrata is cracked, it is your problem, period.

This is why I would not recommend a Kobo to anyone any longer. Unfortunately, there isn't much you can do, other than get another reader. I'd strongly recommend the Kindle Voyage.
