It might be possible to tell from the serial number, the early ones began with 613A, if yours starts with 613B then it is probably a newer model, but I don't know exactly when the change was made, so maybe some of the 613As are the new model too.
You can turn the light down, and how far you can turn it down might have changed in the firmware at some point (but if it did then I didn't notice any effect since I never use it on the minimum setting), but the issue for some was that it was still too bright for reading in full darkness even on the lowest setting.
The colour tone and brightness are hard to describe objectively without a colour/light meter. Apparent brightness depends on a number of factors such as how far away from your face you hold the device, how much white space is on the page you are viewing, etc. Apparent colour tone depends on the colour of the ambient light.
In full darkness I find the minimum setting too dim for comfortable reading. I usually have it set at about 10% in the dark. If I read in a room with yellow curtains the screen looks a bit blue, if I read in my blue tent then the screen looks a bit yellow, in daylight it looks pure white.
