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.
One advantage to the Glowlight, if the light does bother you, you can turn it fully off. Just hold down the 'n' button. Still works on the GL3. I did it by mistake.

And I would think the higher screen resolution and newer, more contrast-y e-ink screens would make up for whatever blurriness the (for you) unwanted light layer might introduce.

The Kindles can have the light turned down very low, but never off. I would think the light would be so low, it wouldn't bother you. But I don't want to assume.
