Apart from the big problems I had with the natural backlight, it was a truley awsome device and a great e-reader (that was why I gave it so many chanses to find an acceptable one). |

This is why amazon reviews, for instance, are mostly useless. There are countless products that are actually FAKE (ie: cheap knock-offs of an original) that have nearly perfect reviews. This is a consumer phenomenon shady sellers knowingly exploit to give their scams apparent credibility. We simply don't know the rate of screen problems on the Aura One. I could be overestimating it...but the evidence suggests strongly to me I'm not. More than the poll data, I find the number of posters who returned 3 or 4 devices to be a better indicator. These are people who decided they weren't going to rationalize away irregularities before they made their initial purchase, who still very much wanted a Kobo Aura One, but simply couldn't get one after multiple efforts. There were a lot of posters who returned their first Aura One thinking they would get a better one who simply decided to keep the second flawed device because they concluded the problems were inherent to the manufacturing process. |

I exchanged my A1 multiple times. Each device had very bad warm lighting. Of course this doesn't mean there were no devices with better screens out there. I was just not able to get one

However I’m not talking about your precious bias effect. It’s a known fact that people who don’t experience a good time with a service or product are more likely to speak out than those for whom the service or product performed as expected. The service and retail industries both utilize this in how they approach customers initially and how they try to resolve issues. You understand that both bias effect and the above aren’t mutually exclusive I trust. |

Do we also count the number of people who were banned from returning their Paperwhites in hopes of getting that elusive perfect unit? From the messages I saw, it took from 5 to 7 returns to trigger.

You’re clinging to a single study and pretending it’s the string theory of reviews. |

If you look at the PW5 vs the Libra2,you'll find that not having a flush screen is actually better. The PW5 has a flush screen and it's muddy looking in comparison to the Libra 2. The PW3 vs the PW4. The PW3 not flush and better screen then the flush PW4. So overall, not flush is giving a better screen.
