Never had issues with that on the Aura H2O either, it was very good, it just lacked the color adjustment gizmo.

You can see the LEDs but only if you look at the display at an very odd angle you'd never use while reading.

At least for the white Libra 2 there is some black duct tape inside the device (on the sides of the back plate) probably meant to help prevent light bleeding.

That said, there are pinholes. A whole bunch of them, real ones, right through the plastic. It's how they allow the power LED to shine through. It's only visible when looking straight at it, nearly invisible from an angle, so that confused me at first when I tried to turn it on, but the LED didn't seem to blink.

So if this was a smartphone and the LED used for notification purposes, it would suck a lot, but the power LED on ereaders basically doesn't matter so, it's whatever.

Is it easy to remove the backplate (just in case one needs to)? are the plastic lips that lock the plate to the body easy to break?
