So that makes two amber Glowlight 3s and one that is a reddish-amber (not quite as red as some KA1s but definitely redder than than the other Glowlight 3 I was comparing it to.) Neither owner was worried.

There are times I suspect the "cutting blue light" is more a sales gimmick than a reality. Fun to play with but no real utility.

Consensus? Especially by a group not associated with Kobo. If a Kobo marketing person commented, it might be worth reading. Though there are some suggestions that a mass of uninformed opinions converges towards the correct answer.

And shrink the bezels. Possibly baby duckling syndrome since I'm used to ereaders, tablets and phones that have ever narrowing bezels to the point where I would like wider bezels on some devices. Again, personal taste and given that I do not live in B&N market area, not of much interest to anyone outside of a small circle of friends.
