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?

No problem!
And exactly so, and in actual use, there is no real difference, and tweaking with the fonts can make even that immaterial. In my first shot, the Sony is a bit better, but in the second one, I think the kobo is, and that's just from switching fonts and adjusting the font weight a bit.
For me, I have no strain of any kind with the light, and often the opposite, on low setting it only improves contrast, and lightens the background, so I find it reduces strain on the eye.
And I have yet to run into a book where I can't adjust the font weight, but I remove DRM from everything I buy.
I'll be honest though, my absolute, ideal reader would be the PRS-650 with a modern high-res eink screen and a light.
