I got my mum a kindle paperwhite 3 and I decided to see how the front light of the KW3 compares with that of the i86. Before you look at the attached images, please note that both images where taken from my smart phone camera in automatic mode. I don't think the phone's camera accurately reflects the way both devices look in reality. For instance, KW3' front light has a yellowish tinge while the i86' has a bluish/whitish tinge. The KW3' front light is more evenly distributed. The i86' front light is relatively brighter towards the lower/bottom edge (which is much more pronounced in the image than in reality). Overall, I'd say the KW3' has the better front light because I prefer warmer colors to cooler colors. Also, for some reason which I cannot explain, the KW3 looked 'friendlier'.
