Thanks. More interesting was wolfsbruder comment about his KA1 LE and light bleedthrough. To quote "There is now light bleedthrough along the lower right edge of the reader between the frame and the screen." Looking at his image, the light at the edge of screen looks almost as if the edge had been chipped.

KA1 LE bleedthrough

His original complaint seemed to be the the KA1 and KA1 LE did not match colour at the same brightness and colour temperature slider settings. This has been an on-going complaint that KA1s had different colour screens when the slider was set close to or at the maximum night (warmest) setting. I suspect this might be due to colour/brightness matching batches of LEDs without worrying about consistency in colour temperature between devices. More upsetting to me was the first image posted showing the two side by side where light cones were definitely more visible on the LE's screen.

I'm not sure why anyone would want to read with the ereader set to "candlelit" -- my KA1 is one of the ones that goes to the very reddish candlelit look and I abhor it. The Tolino epos I have goes to more of an yellowish incandescent lighting look which is warmer than I really prefer.

As an aside, we were visiting in Bellingham this weekend and I got to see two Nook Glowlight 3's belonging to the cousin's kids (well, cousin to my wife's standards of what constitutes a cousin). The colour of the screens was quite different between the two of them when the lighting was set to the warm end. We updated one to the latest beta which made the owner very happy since she is into manga. Her brother was more "What's sideloading?" and "Why would I want to do that?" so left his alone (little snot kept calling me "revered husband of third cousin twice removed"--he has yet to learn not to apply sarcasm with a trowel). Looking at the screen made me wonder--again--why Kobo discontinued the Glo HD.
