Hey sorry I havent gotten back here until now.

Yes that is just me lifting the screen protector, just left it on as I'm not using it until things are sorted out.

This unit does not have any light bleed, my complaint is the uneven lighting or dark patches at the bottom. And yes your are correct, the bottom right corner is by far the worst.

I just wanted to know if you guys thought this was acceptable. Those of you that say you have perfect screens m, do you have these dark blotches? I knows it caused from the space on between the individual LEDs at the base of the unit. My main comparison is my old kobo glo, which has no bleeding or weird led issues at all.

I mean, yes, this is probbaly livable. I just found it weird that we would have this issue 9 years down the road from the kobo glo I have which has a perfect screen.

I just got an email back from kobo and they are going to send a replacement. My friend has a paperwhite that has no bleed or any screen imperfections of any sorts with leds on or off. Maybe this is caused by the LEDs being spread further apart or gapped amber,blue,amber blue etc.
