I didn't vote because I have a faint greenish tinge at the bottom when the comfort light is very high and it doesn't intrude when reading. I'm the type to wish for "other" with closed lists.

I voted "yes". The poll isn't asking how I feel about them, just whether they're present on my reader

Is it even worse if I admit I did it more than once in different shops while procrastinating over whether to opt for the Aura or Paperwhite.

I vote yes.

First one had green blob.

Replacement has green blob.

Will call today and see what they say.

If there are ones without the green blob, I want a new one.

It is almost like the screen color is changing while I read with the green band moving around.

You know, my policy is to reduce oversized images rather than delete them. But after I've reduced them twice and PMed a poster, I get a little testy. Please read the posting guidelines before uploading another image.

Does your green text tell us you have a green blob also?

No, it tells you that a moderator is posting something and they are making it clear that a moderator is speaking and it should be paid attention to by colouring it green.

You won’t believe what just happened. I got a flawless Aura One off of eBay (). It's from Dubai, lighting is perfectly uniform and even the frontplate ist perfectly centered! They exist! (or One does -> problem of induction )

Maybe they could market this as a simulation of the Northern Light, Aurora Borealis. It might prove very popular with some readers.

However, in trying to reliably reproduce the effect, they might make devices with properly functioning comfort lights by mistake instead.
