One option (down the road) would be to buy a skin from (for instance) Decal Girl, and cover the shiny bezel.

I'm pretty sure any skin would be made with the intent to not cover that shiny beveled edge because it's so narrow and slants down from the normal bezel.

I tried to take a few pics to show the shine from it and just the corner of the reader to show the size of it. I didn't try to make straight perfect images on purpose (and as a result they're not perfect focus either), the shine wouldn't show then. These are more as you would be holding the reader. When the shine reflects off the side pieces is much more annoying to me than at the top or bottom like these pictures show (I just couldn't get the shine right to clearly show on the sides trying to place the reader and a camera just right for it). And this is just from incandescent ceiling lights in the center of the room, no flash at all.

Edit: Now I'm actually wondering if that piece could be removed if you open up the reader. The usual small gap for IR beams has never been a problem for me and I'd prefer the gap over the shine. Maybe someone who has opened it up to replace the SD card took a look at that part to know?

Wow your text is so bold. Is that with the weight all the way up? Is that how you read all the time? Sorry not to answer your question. The glare doesn't bother me.

We're sorry!
Kobo Glo HD - Black has just sold out.

From time to time, we may sell out of a popular item during the ordering process. We apologize for the inconvenience.

If I don't want to bother wearing my reading glasses, then yes . I got used to it with the Sony 350 that didn't have the light, the darker contrast just let me keep reading outdoors longer without having to put the external light on. It's the font more than the weight adjustment, it's not slid all the way over.

I would think that is temporary and the deal is good until the end of the month.

@Ripplinger, which font are you using there? It looks like a heavy version of Bitter.

I didn't know you can sideload fonts with Kobo! That's a very nice feature. I just sideloaded Lexia DaMa and I definitely see why you like it, Ripplinger. Going to use this one for a while.

Are the dimensions of the bevels on the HD the same as that on the old Glo?

The outside dimensions are close enough that I use the Glo cover on my Glo HD and the screen is the same size. So, the bezel dimension have to be almost the same.

Is this a free font, and can anyone recommend a site to download it from?

THIS is the EXACT problem that plagues the Voyage. Yellow at top, white at bottom. Incredible that the GLO HD has the same issue.
