Cheers HarryT. It is interesting to know that there may be an element of colour in all of the Paperwhite screens and I do think you have a point that some people are a lot more sensitive to the colours than others, but there are clearly some screens that aren't up to an acceptable standard, and there are pictures that pretty clearly show obvious colour hues.

It doesn't seem to be an issue that the Kobo Glo has at all, and perhaps you are right that they simply use a different way of diffusing the light that works better. I've just been guessing that the methods must be similar, so it's possibly more likely due to the additional layer of the capacitive screen - but I know nothing about the technology so it is just complete guesswork.

On the one hand, Amazon seem to have got the quality of the light better than the rest, but Kobo are doing better with the diffusion. As usual, neither is perfect.... yet.
