So this makes us three reporting the same problem:
Bought a Glo online less than a month ago, having this exact problem (yellow smudges) + light layer defects.
I'm writing to the store I bought the reader hoping for a replacement as I can't stand anymore the yellow smudges and the light layer defects when reading with the light on at nights.
Posting some pictures of the problem for future reference, the two threads mentioning this problem didn't have any.
Update: The online seller was very cool about the return, sending it tomorrow. Will update when I get the new unit.
