the 2nd photo down on it's own clearly shows light bleed in 2 spots on the left side and 2 spots on the right side.

also the next photo down titled the Kobo left, Nook Glowlight 3 right also shows the light bleed on both sides.

the light bleed/cones or whatever you wish to call it looks terrible and i would send it straight back.
Yes, it does have that title, but if you read the article, the author actually questions if they are using the right terms.

And looking at the pictures, I can see the cones at the bottom. They don't look any worse than the Glo, but are probably worse than the Glo HD.

But, I don't believe that is what has been discussed here, though they have been mentioned. Unless I completely misunderstand, people have been talking about light coming in from the sides. Or at least that seems to be what is fixed with tape solution. And someone has stated that it probably bugs people using very small margins. If the complaints are about those cones coming from the sides near the bottom, then it isn't going to be stopping me buying one of these if I decide to replace my Glo HD (and don't go for the larger screen Aura ONE). My assumption has been it is affecting a lot more of the screen.

Can someone with one of these devices please educate me on exactly what you are seeing? And even better post some photos that demonstrate it. Are those photos typical? Or does it affect the screen a lot more.
