I don't notice them when I'm reading, but I'm wondering whether this is just a cosmetic thing with Kobo not having precise plastic parts or is this a sign that the Libra I got is actually used or has a defect. Do you guys have these lines too? Attached a pic. Thanks!!
I actually had this issue several months after receiving my first Libra. In short, the bezel where the page-turn buttons are started pulling away from the screen. I could increasingly see under the bezel. I got a replacement and haven't had the issue since.

I think it's normal to see a bit of light on the side because that's where the light strip is. However, I don't think it should be THAT visible. Maybe someone can correct me if I'm wrong.

If you haven't had the device long, maybe consider a replacement.
