My Kobo Glo is only about a month old now and I totally agree, they got the light on the reader as perfect as possible. There's very little difference between the lowest setting and completely off on mine, and like you, the dimmest setting is too low when reading in the dark, I have to set it at about 30%. There's absolutely zero color-blotch issues like the Kindle had, there's no bluish cast at all, there's not even the dark "cones" at the bottom where the LEDs are. The light is nice and even all over the screen, it's just done very nicely.

Either they improved the hardware since the first release of it, or the firmware updates have done something to regulate the light better, but I couldn't be happier with the light on the Glo.
