I was hoping the thing was just unplugged or misplugged... Also, I am not sure what the glass substrate *is*. There doesn't appear to be any crack or anything. The display is just weird.

- The Kobo Aura H2O is larger and heavier because it has a significantly larger screen. This is a big advantage if you're reading PDFs without reflow. To reflow them, you can install Koreader.
