Hello,

I am currently an Amazon Kindle owner 4th generation. As I am a persistent reader I am a little worried about the lighting being damaging to my eyes so I went for the one without any front or sidelighting.Based on the feature set I am really considering the Kobo Aura HD, but the one thing pulling me back in the 'comfort lighting' or the 'glo lighting' they seem to advertise. From reviews I assume it is possible to turn it completely off and make it behave exactly like an ereader without a front light. I don't do a lot of night reading so this is one feature i do not have any use for anyway.

I just want to be 100% sure I would be able to switch it off. Can any users of this device confirm?

Thanks for reading.
