Apparently not. I acknowledge the flush bezel complicates matters. Interestingly, Kobo used it on the 6" Aura, but not the H2O. And the 6" Aura did have the most problems, though I don't recall any color gradient or blotch problems.
Anyway, Amazon need to look at what Kobo is doing, and copy it. Amazon seems to have bought into an inferior (to Kobo) lighting tech, and perhaps because of investment, are unable to change course.

I don't see it.
Either my Voyage is especially good or my H2O especially bad (well, not bad but just not quite as good).
My H2O has a distinctive yellowish hue to it.
Maybe that's what some mean by "warmer".
But I wouldn't describe this as "closer to real paper". Quite the contrary.
Yes, paperbacks aren't perfectly white. But certainly not (that) yellowish either.
Left: Voyage.
Right: H2O.
Both with light to maximum setting.
I'm absolutely fine with H2O, but I definitely don't consider it superior. I clearly rank Voyage (slightly) ahead.
