As I said in an earlier post, I have a dumb mobile which doesn't take pictures, just phones and texts. I don't have a digital camera, so can't easily upload a photo.

I have managed to sideload a book from Smashwords onto it using Calibre's "Send to device" option.

I've noticed that I can't alter the font type on epubs from places other than Kobo.
unfortunately your not the first regarding the light bleed on the Kobo Clara and i doubt very much you will be the last. as you knew before you bought it the problem as been discussed at length on here.

only you can decide if it bothers you enough to get an exchange although if you do get a replacement bear in mind you may get another one /slightly better/worse/just the same or hopefully no light bleed at all.

welcome to the relatively new world of the Kobo lottery.

good luck with whatever you decide to do

best wishes koboy
