Well, I bought two units - one had extremely even lighting with very small shadow cones at the left and right corners at bottom of the screen - much less than what my nook glowlight 3 had. Almost as good as my inkpad 3. The second unit had the lower part of the screen a bit shadowy, which was annoying in comparison to the other unit.
The contrast of the text is much better on the hd 2 compared to the inkpad 3 though.
Also, I don't know if that's a common issue or just batch issue but both of the hd 2 units occasionally display weird rendering when putting to sleep or connecting to the usb - like everything on the display become faded an lines running accross. I don't know what that was - it never happened while reading books or in menus, but I returned them both because I didn't want to take any chances with future screen issues. With that said if you give me an hd2 with lighting like on the my first unit and no weird issues with the screen I would choose it over my inkpad 3 and kobo aura one any day of the week
