Thank you, Haesslich.

I usually read with the light at 50%. Would you mind trying that setting and see if you have this "shadow" issue?

Re: Power button. So, if I have a sleepcover, then this issue comes up only when I need to do a real power on/off?

Also, do you have a gut feel about how long your battery lasts? I know it differs depending on use, but can you compare it with another Kobo model, assuming you had one before the Forma? I have an Aura H2O and I'm very happy with the battery even after ~5 years of almost daily use. My gut feel is that the battery can last at least 30-hrs (maybe even more) to this day. It probably lasted > 40 hrs when it was new, with the light usually at around 50%.

Thanks for the tip re: Best Buy / Chapters. I'll go check it out as soon as I can.
