@pepe_alter_ego,
Thank you for your vote of confidence in the Paperwhite's frontlight. From what I've read here on MobileRead, as well as watching some YouTube reviews, it seems that it's a good light with fairly even distribution / illumination.
I've had a similar experience with my Nooks; since I purchased my Nook GlowLight (around Oct. 2014), I have barely used my Nook Simple Touch. I still have a sentimental attachment to the ST (which was my first e-reader ever), but the GlowLight's built-in light and sharper screen are decisive features for me.
(I'm aware that there are MobileRead members who believe the GlowLight to be inferior to the ST but that hasn't been true for me. I don't regret deciding to upgrade my hardware. I do regret the boneheaded decisions Barnes & Noble has made with its eBook ecosystem, and their downward spiral.)
