I worry about my E-Luminators also (even though I've still got a couple of them in their original container and none of them have ever broken – Big Lots was selling them out for a while). I even checked Amazon and saw that you can still get them for $6 (including two day shipping).
Uh, oh. A quick check shows they're now priced at $6.99 instead – must have been a run on them.
As for eyes not being "as rested," that's what my issue is with front-lit readers. They just aren't "comfortable." I found myself continually changing the brightness when I owned the Kobo Glo and, even though the Nook Simple Touch with Glowlight is easier on my eyes, I can only read for about 40 or 45 minutes before I don't want to use it anymore (and I find myself repeatedly changing the brightness on that one as well). I even thought about getting a Voyage when they were $120 for refurbished ones, but decided against it because I really don't think it would be "comfortable." I'm hoping that – maybe – the orange light on the Nook GlowLight 3 will be better (when and if I get one), but I'm not really that hopeful.
