Looks fine to me. I actually prefer my displays to not be too "cool" on color temperature when I'm reading text. Especially on something I intend to read in the evenings.

To give you an idea: LEDs and backlights tend to skew up into the 7000-7500K range on consumer products like monitors and tablets, which is very cool. Ignore for the second "cool" and "warm" are reversed, it's weird terminology thing. I tend to use 6500K for photography, which is pretty standard there. Print in the past has been done at 5000K.

As your color temperature goes down, the yellower it looks, when you are comparing it to whites of a higher color temperature. Your eyes adapt to color temperature as well over time, so after using a monitor at 6500K for a few days, when you go back to a 7500K display, it will look blue. Because we are using computers so frequently these days, we are used to these high color temperatures, as few are calibrated away from this rather high white point.

I suspect that Amazon is not strictly controlling for the color temperature, so there is probably a range between ~6500K and ~7500K, which is quite noticeable when you put them side by side. I also suspect you are seeing this partly because of other devices you use that are skewed higher in temperature.
