I do have the official case. Thanks for the tip. I just tried it, but I think I prefer it shining on the top still, maybe just from habit. I have it shining on the top bezel so it's not in my eyes, but the problem is 1) the light hits the hardest where the led is hitting which causes me to have to strain my eyes when reading lots and 2) the led light dims a bit after about 10-15 hours and then I have to recharge the battery which is annoying to have to do every 2-3 days. It's nice having a less glaring light when it dims, but I read better and faster when it's at full strength.
I tried the paperwhite in store and it seemed so much easier on the eyes. Also it seems people get about 28 hours real world battery life where I think I only get about 15 hours with my T1 with wifi off and just reading normal epubs.
The nice thing about ditching the aura for the pw is that I can use the T1 for everything the kindle can't handle. I was going to force myself to sell the T1 if I got the aura but the pw is so much cheaper.
