Well, I installed a new SD card with the image and didn't work, the screen looks flawless.

Anyway there is a twist. At the begining of last week an attendant of the store were I bought the kobo told they only give 1 year of warrantie on any ereader, so I opened my HD because it is 1 year and a half old and tried to fix it myself, but later the online service of Kobo told me that they give 2 years, so I showed that chat to another attendant that was giving me the 1 year warranty story too, anyway I gave them my device to "check for revision" so maybe I fucked up opening it.

And sadly, if warranty applies, they wont fix it, they will give me a new device and there is no Glo HD anymore, they only have the Aura which I believe is not as good as the HD.

I have already had a Nook glowlight some years ago and I gave it to my mother, and had the first and the second paperwhite model, the first is my brother's and I sold the second PW to a friend, that three e-readers are working fine by now but I should say the Kobo had the crisper text and whiter screen, so I want to keep it some more years if it is possible, I love that bastard.
