So any advice would be highly appreciated.
  • filter film? The one I use needs replacement every 2-3 months (colour fade due to led heat)
  • orange paint, the kind used for colouring bulbs back then?
    - but they are allowed for bulbs up to 25 watts - how hot are the leds in the paperwhite?
    - maybe paint the edge of that light distribution layer, where the light enters the layer?
  • swap the leds for warmer ones?

Thanks for any advice, info or crazy idea!
Night mode -- white on black -- works very well with KoReader for the Kindle. Before starting to paint the thing (yikes), jailbreaking and adding KoReader seems like a much better solution.
