I haven't had any problems with my Libra, and to be honest I don't remember anyone ever mentioning something like this here. My screen also doesn't look grainy or 'not calm', it looks just normal. I do read at night but I keep the frontlight very low - anything over 3-4% would be too bright for me (I'm very shortsighted, so I need to keep the reader
very close to my face to be able to read without glasses in bed).
With that said, if you had an issue with it you were right to return it - it's your right as a customer. It might be that the frontlight wasn't particularly good or even on your device in particular and that was more visible in the dark, or maybe you are indeed more sensitive than the average user, but user experience is very subjective. I'm not sure if you were here when the first ereaders with frontlight came out, but the debates were endless... people were returning Paperwhites two or three times before finding one that was 'good enough', frontlights that were even for one user were terrible for others
the technology has much improved, but @Uncle Robin makes a very good point - it's an incredibly subjective experience. Just look at the page number thread
