The Kobo Glo was delivered yesterday, and the screen is lovely in all lighting conditions. I think the contrast out of the box is somewhere between the Nook and the Kindle, but it allows a bunch of adjustments to line spacing and font rendering so with some fiddling I may get the Caecilia font adjusted to look like my 2nd Paperwhite. The rest of the user interface software on the Kobo needs some work; it's nowhere near as polished as the Nook or Kindle, but I can live with it because the screen is so nice.
With all the lights jacked up to the maximum my Nook is the bluest of the bunch and the Kindle is yellow. My Nook and Kobo both have nice, even lighting, and the gray background blobs on my current PW probably wouldn't be so noticeable if the LED on the far left wasn't so much brighter than the other three. Quality control seems to have been sacrificed to produce a few million Paperwhites in time for Christmas.
I'll try to get pictures this weekend. The Kobo is definitely a keeper, but the Kindle may be going back to Staples after I get through my comparisons.
