I guess the new Aura may be a bit better because the screen size is smaller: the light travels less from the bottom to the top. Or maybe the new Aura has light sources on both ends? I don't know.

Kobo Glo with early owners had complaints light was blue and a little too bright at lowest setting. With later production the glow light became less cold blue to now having warm yellow cast more like incandesant light. Can't please everyone.

For more even glow light original glow was very even. Maybe a better difusion layer and quality control is needed on the 6" Aura. With past models we have seen improvements over time without model changes.
Thanks. I don't mind the warmer shade - it is easier on my eyes but the yellowish tint on the top sometimes distracts me. Is there a way to tell when a device was manufactured/assembled without opening the case?
