Got my Clara HD yesterday. Quite nice. I wouldn't call it perfect, a few minor quibbles....don't know why it kinda bugs me there is no top margin on these things apparently no matter how I convert the epub. The lack of page buttons is weird. And the color temp doesn't get as orange as I'd like the way the Nook Glow 3 does. I notice the light bleeding issue, but that doesn't really bother me at all. There is a lady on Youtube that has a fix that involves popping the cover off and putting electrical tape along the edge, for anyone who has a problem with that, but wants to keep the reader and enjoys tinkering.

But overall, I can already tell this is the best ereader I've owned. Very snappy, good hardware, and I like the way the menu is layed out. I bought a case off ebay but wasn't paying attention and it's shipping from Hong Kong, so I'm going to have to keep this reader at the house until the end of October when I get my case LOL.

But yeah, in short, even with the minor warts....I'm a Kobo convert. Huge plus, I no longer have to constantly re-convert my epubs to get the damn cover art to display! I don't know why, but ever iteration of the Nook I've owned would forget the cover art. Even when it was working fine before...anyway.....I rate the Kobo Clara HD 5 bags of popcorn and a lucky rabbit's foot. Highly recommended!
