Indeed. You know, the Kindle Paperwhite 1 actually has a greenish-gray light (if you are able to see it); it's especially clear on lower brightness levels.

At first when I changed it and warmed up the color a bit, I was like "cool this is nice" and read for a bit. Then I reverted back to the "blue" light and my eyeballs wanted to die!

Yeah, I know
I've experienced that about 10 years ago with many people, when I was quite deep into photography, giving lessons in color management, among other things.
"So, you set your monitor to 6500K for normal pictures..."
- "But it's so YELLOW!"
"You'll get used to it." (Be glad I haven't made you set it to 5000K, which is used for color-separated prepress work. Hah!)
After some time, working with a perfectly color calibrated monitor, people started telling me: "I see all kinds of defects now... some monitors are pink, others are green.... and most of them are SO #$%$^ BLUE!"
I can see it with the KA1 as well; with the natural light all the way to the left, the light is really blue. Then, when moving it to the right, the light gets more neutral. At around 30%, it's cold white, at 40% it's neutral, and at 50% it's warm white; after that, the screen gets orange. (At least, to my eyes, and with my particular KA1.)
I like the light a bit above 50%. AUTO is disabled on both, as they are too aggressive; AUTO light is too bright, and AUTO natural is too blue, or too orange.

But a large part of me hopes I've learned my lesson when it comes to buying Kobo devices.

What's wrong with the GUI?
Apart from really *really* wanting to use the undocumented, experimental, and partly broken full screen function (with which I've been tinkering since Saturday, trying different automatically injected CSS when uploading books to get the font issues fixed), I have had no problems with the device whatsoever. If I'd just take the header and footer for granted, and use either KEPUBs generated by Calibre, or straight-up EPUBs, everything works as expected.
