Oh dear, my sympathies! You might be one of those unlucky people who are oobf magnets - a friends who worked for a telco was one too, he had 4 oobfs in a row, all from different manufacturers

I’ve had that happen, and it was just a grease spot from my finger. Try cleaning your screen and see if it goes away. I’m careful now when I eat while I read.

I took it to work. In normal light there is no evidence of a spot but in the crappy evening light in my apartment it is visible like little white glowing orbs on the screen

What are oobfs? Looks like little ghost orbs lol I see 2 or 3 on my H20 but only at home. At work, in my car, outside there is no sign of them. Also my Fire tablet has one of those white orbs only noticeable on the black startup screen.

I am considering 7" ereader -
Every review I read said that H20 & Limited edition is slow...
Can you guys give me review on sideload epub? How is the load and flip speed?

I convert all my books to kepub before sideloading onto my H2O2 and have not noticed any particular slowness. It seems as fast as my Paperwhite 2, which is my only other reference point.

I have original Aura H2O. It's fine with ePub via USB from Calibre. Better for PDFs than the old Amazon DXG I have, which I may sell or give away. About same speed as my new PW3 (bought so I can buy Amazon and check my own titles as not just old mobi but also AW3, I don't use kepub as I use a PRS350 for outside the house. The Sony PRS350 is slower and still fine.
Shame they ditched the microSD card slot.

Kcladyz if you keep seeing them then you probably should return it for another, just to see if you see them again on a different H20. Walmart should be pretty easy for returns. You can just drop it off there and order a new one.

Well the odd glowing orbs have mysteriously gone away. the ghost in the machine apparently exorcised.

I am loving the device but having trouble deciding what to read. Between all my kobo, kindle, nook, iBooks I do not know what to read next. I calculated that if I read 35 to 40 books a year like I did this year that i will get all my books read in about 15 years lol
