The Kobo Aura HD is not a blueish glow like the Nook or Kindle Paperwhite, it's not bad at all. During the day, the light color is a non-issue, at night it has a warm cast. I really like it for dim or less than ideal lighting situations. While I don't like to read on it a long time in a completely dark room, for short periods it is fine.
However, I do feel some concern over how the glow light screen will hold up over time. I'm careful about cleaning, but one is working on a plastic layer over glass and plastic scratches easier. So far so good and I guess only time will tell. I don't feel like the Kobo would hold up so well under my husband, so he may be more interested in the new Sony, as careful cleaning would not be his thing!
