Interesting. I never have seen a Kobo in real life, but just on those photos, it would be too "muddy", not having enough contrast with that brownish color. I also have the light lower on my Oasis than the pic. Well I assume so, as its difficult to photograph e-ink well. I usually go down to 7-8 on it in bed. Still having a side lamp though. I cannot read in total dark with my eyes.
But whats important are ones eyes. We are all different and we are comfortable with different things. I doubt I'll ever see a Kobo as they don't have them here in the stores and the few times I see anyone with a e-reader at all, its a Kindle. Most though either carry paperbooks or their phones it seems.
For me when I turn the light lower and lower, the contrast has to be pretty good, or it just gets blurry on my eyes. Its why I use the bold #3 settings at night. Pretty much all the time now though really. I could probably go to #4 at night and get really good contrast that way.
I don't see any blue on my screen though, its just white-ish. Not of any particular color that I can see. Now my old PW1, which is used by my husband looks really blue held up against my O2 at night. Its very obvious.
