Well, given that I am Australian, it's not so much a foreign country; the rest of you people are the foreigners.
(Then again, I might be confused: look at globe and you'll see our heads are always upside down. Explains a lot.)
The idea was to send it from an Aussie store. It's just, then I'll have to go into detail exactly how it should be functioning.
Given then 3 of 5 have been defective, I'm not wild about my chances.
This reader, when not defective, so damn good it's borderline worth the hassle. I'd also like to support an alternative to Amazon/Kindle (although Kobo seems to heading more towards that way - once upon a time, there was the baked-in option of finding free books).

The ONE and the H202 both have the color shifting front light.
That I completely agree with. I think the ONE is a big black-eye to Kobo. The fact that even the new, limited edition model has the same flaws is just unforgivable. Kobo needs to shut down ONE production and get the issue fixed once and for all.
Selling their flagship product in a state where people are afraid to give it as a gift says a lot.

I appreciate that. I mean, I'm not crazy (or just cranky) to feel this way.
I really, really don't get why they don't work this out - getting QC on that backlight issue would be simple and cheap.
I'm something of an evangelist for these things... or, I was. I travel a lot and talk to a lot of people. I've been constantly recommending the Aura One, explaining that, for me and others who've tried one, it changes our reading, even turns people back into readers.
Seems like it wouldn't take much to make it worthy of the praise.
