I bought a One and I've got the same problem. It's annoying.

The One is a great reader overall: screen size is nice for pdfs with koreader, it's sharp and the "non natural" backlight works well and I'd say is better than on the older models.

But at low light, the "natural light" is burdensome.

If it's "because the leds are there. All devices with eInk technology have the same characteristic" then why does it seems like some devices don't come with this problem?

I don't understand why would an ereader costing more than 200$ come with a feature that's not nice at all to use at low light? Isn't the goal of this machine to allow a nice reading experience in dark setting?

Well.. I feel like Kobo should take more care either in the development of their technology or in their quality control if they want to look like a quality ereader builder that you can trust - or if they just want to show respect to their customers.

Is it sure that some Aura One don't have this problem at all and have an even lighting with natural light on at low light?

The stats on this topic do seem to indicate that this is the case, but personal sensitivity comes into play... Is it related to the technology, or to their strange quality control?
