It looks like light coming in from the side, though the LEDs are all at the... bottom(?) of the screen. It seems to be that the screen wasn't properly affixed to the frame.

Check the photos here: Clara HD Light "bleed" at side issue, post #65

On the one hand, it seems simple enough to fix if you don't mind pulling the Clara apart. on the other hand, why wasn't it built properly in the first place?

I seem to remember folks here posting that theirs had it to a greater or lesser degree, but I don't recall people posting they didn't have it at all (though I admit that could be my selective memory).

Kobo said they will clean up their act on newer ones.
