The above is from eyeball comparison with LEDs of known characteristics.
I do not have the equipment to measure their light output curve.

Of course, some LED grower might introduce what you want tomorrow and I have not dug into current manufacturer's catalogs.

"cool-white" is actually more red and less blue or filtered "blue-white".
Filtered blue-white is what I am trying for without hardware modification of the motherboard.
Changing those LEDs requires SMT re-work equipment and a lot of special skills.
Probably not a widely popular modification.
That's great for people who hates the color of frontlight if you do it successfully.
Formerly we just ask the Amazon's customer service to change a new device if we dislike the color of frontlight.

Besides, the fonts hack is useful for us. I posted the feedback to amazon for an advice of adding more fonts for Chinese books, but it's not accepted. So I installed the font hack and modified the /var/local/system/font.properties file to add the Chinese fonts in the Aa menu to 11 fonts.
