Though after hearing of so many lighting issues with the KAO, you may have mass agreement on your statement!
The WHITE (normal) light on the KA1 has very few issues. The uneven/poor lighting on the KA1 are with the "night" light where the different colours cause issues. Kobo can get even normal lighting on 7.8" from the bottom, so it should be possible for Amazon to do it with side lighting (assuming they are going that way again).

Nice to see Amazon once again finally catching up with Kobo
