My new Kobo Sage has at least 2-3 pinholes on arrival. I don't see them at all on normal screen mode, but on night mode they show up as light dots.

How common is that? Is there a decent chance that a replacement device won't have any of these pixels?

Another issue is the weird screen. See attached image. Unlike my old Kindle, the screen seems to have a very fine texture. The texture is permanent, unrelated to refresh. It looks to me like e-ink particles that are permanently stuck. I don't mind it much, but again, I want to make sure I didn't receive a dud, because it makes the screen quite a bit gray.

Thanks
