I've try to take some pictures side by side with the Kindle 4NT. On the pictures the yellowish is a little bit less than in real. Are there all PW2 this yellowish with light off or is this not normal?

Given the photos, I would take the PW2 over your NT any day. The PW in the photos appear to have more contrast compared to the grays of the NT. I found when I changed from sony to PW1 and from PW1 to aura and then back to PW2, that the contrast and lighting that looked "weird" at first due to the different white balance colour temp quickly become the new "norm" after reading for a few hours or a day and no longer noticeable.
