The defect was still here, and after two days of use a line of dead pixels appeared near the right edge of the screen.

On the advice of people from this forum I have therefore decided to get a Boox Note Pro from https://ereader.store (Germany). It has just arrived right now, I start it, and... There is a dead line of pixels near the left edge of the screen... This is extremely annoying because I have paid the import taxes to get this device to Canada I am not sure whether I should keep it or ask ereader for an exchange...

Does a Boox Note without defects really exist? :/

I got my Boox Note Pro from Amazon about 2 weeks ago now and haven't had any issues. No dead pixels, I don't use the pen much because I'm waiting for the new update that has the better pen experience on PDFs.

The only issue I have is that I use Pocket (GetPocket) to read a lot of articles and every now and then it will cause the Boox to restart, its not a full restart its more of it flashes to the load screen and opens back to the main home. It happens rarely, probably happened like 4 times and I've read at least 60 or so articles on it. Most of my time using it is actually in Pocket. The first time it happened I was really worried but its a rare enough occurrence that I don't think its a major software issue. I do full refreshes when I use Pocket and haven't seen any pixel issues. I force A2 in Firefox that I sideloaded and it gets the regular ghosting but it goes away if I either refresh or switch the app.
