A front-light makes your eyes go funny in the dark, no matter how dim it goes. You'll still need a clip-on light. But the front-light is handy for dim situations.

AFAIK no mainstream e-reader offers audio anymore. There are other things that are harder to get and cost more. I'd forget this if I were you.
If you like your current Kobo, I's suggest the new Kobo Aura (not the HD).
But you might want to wait. Normally new e-readers come out in the fall. You might want to get a new model or get a deal on a current model being phased out.
