Thanks for those pictures. I've compared non-lit Kobo's and Kindle's with the Glo/Paperwhite, but not the Sony. Those pictures seem to show that the differences between the non-lit and lighted models is broadly the same for them all - there is a slight degrading of clarity/contrast, but that is about it. I'm surprised at how good the background looks on the Kobo in comparison to the Sony, I know the T2 is a little better but thought the T1 was actually pretty good.

So do you find any kind of strain on your eyes at all when using the light compared with your reading using the T1 or other non-lighted reader? I wonder if some people might be sensitive to the light, but generally most will have no issues at all.

The fonts looking slightly washed out can be improved by choosing certain fonts and increasing the weight of them though, isn't that correct? I know the Glo/Aura are better than the Paperwhite in terms of customising fonts, but can you still increase the weight of the font if for example the book you are reading doesn't allow the default to be changed?
