Don't listen to some on here. Those bright spots along the side are light bleed, pure and simple. It was a manufacturing error and not a trick of the way your brightness was set. I'm surprised, because in the forums I've never heard a single complaint about that model. I thought it was the most stable and consistent model Kobo had.
If you're still looking at Kobo, I'd suggest sticking with the H2O2. Clearly the color changing light is one of the temptations. If you buy the H2O1 you're just going to wish you had it. If it can be picked up in a shop and maybe inspected before leaving, the H2O2 is a better choice. The chances of two having the same issue would be small.
On the other hand, you've been bitten by Kobo twice. So I don't blame you for giving up on them.
Kindles have had problems with uneven lighting, some of the Paperwhites and the Voyage in particular. So Kobo isn't alone in problematic lighting. Maybe we just complain more
I've attached a picture of my Clara, just to show not all Kobos have issues. Mine was perfect out of the box. Most are.
(Don't mind the weird lighting. I tried putting it under a shelf to emphasize the screen, but got a weirdly lighted photo.
