In fact, some high pitched noise is always there, but not audible when the device is held at reading distance.

Is this noise also present in other devices? Is it always there and should I not bother with ordering a new device?
This is definitely weird - I don't think I've ever heard a noise come from my Kobo ereaders (I've owned several, though nothing more recent than the Glo HD). And I often read in bed when the house is quiet, so I definitely would have noticed.
