Hi UncleZeno and DrDrib, 
No, the scratches won’t go away if I wipe them. The scratches aren’t very obvious. I don’t see the scratches when I’m staring at them straight down. It’s more when I angle the tablet screen towards the natural light then I can see the very very light scratches. My guess is that when I got the tablet in the beginning, I was swiping hard with the stylus angled to the right to turn pages in the library using content browser. I had a lot of books/pages so I just kept swiping and swiping to turn to the next page during the experimentation phase. 

 I touched the stylus tip and it doesn’t seem sharp but I think angling it while swiping hard would(did?) cause the scratches. I should keep the stylus straight up when swiping, not angled right sideways. 
I updated to the July 2nd new update.zip from the ereader website. Batterywise it *seems* to be working better now. More than 4 days at 57%. I went back to using the magnetic screen cover (lol for me) coz I don’t want my tablet to be damaged. So maybe the magnetic cover doesn’t affect anything and it was just firmware regarding the battery drain.

What disturbs me the most is the lines/swiping issue.  These simply will not gently rub away?
 
This is really disturbing to me, as this is the unit I'm seriously considering.
 
ADDED:  UncleZeno, could you also weigh in on this issue?
