Uh-oh. Saw this post on the Kobo reddit:
"Very good device, but the non-uniformity of the back light is still a problem! You clearly see a brighter bar towards the buttons side, actually it's not even a bar, it's two groups of LEDs. You can somehow mask it by playing with the warm light and the intensity of the overall back light, but KOBO, for a 300 EUR device, WTF ?"
If Kobo hasn't improved the light uniformity after the Forma, this device would be a complete failure. Will have to until more reviews come in, but the way this guy is describing it, it seems as though he perceives it to be inherent to the device design and not a random quality control issue.
