And now I know what "blb" stands for, I'm glad to know it isn't really affecting the Clara HD. As it has a front light, it can't possible be affected by this problem. Or at least that's what the pedant in me says.
You can see here the screen differences between the Clara and the Glo....

....the above, after watching the video as well, might be more of a "taste" issue than a fault per se. I am forming an impression that the Kobo screens which use a comfort light have the hue over that of non comfort light screens, but I do not have enough experience or Kobo usage to know that for sure.

Placing both units in sleep mode and you can still see a difference in the screens....

The "BLB" might not be the appropriate technical term to use considering how the lights are applied in the Clara but it suffices for my description and also by user jlynton when they quoted to say that they too had the similar issue of "bleed" and returned the device the same day.

If you watch this video from the time stamp at 9mins you will see how the blue hue compares to the Amazon reader, similar results were seen for us on the Glo to the Clara comparison......



Coming back to the BLB. I have tried another device and that was the same. In this comment section.....

...you will note the use Karinatwork has tried a total of three Clara readers and each of those had problematic BLB.

As I have noted holding the Clara to see between the bezel and the screen the amount of light leakage from the white LED's, the Orange being less noticeable, is very noticeable. On the Glo HD, obviously no Orange LED's, the "leakage is confined to a small section at the bottom.
