I am one of several who have reported no problem with light bleed on the Clara. I absolutely LOVE my Clara, best reader I've ever had. And I say that even after discovering that if I fiddle with the comfort light settings to an extreme level that I never use in reading I actually can see a little thin strip down one side. When I first saw it the phrase "much ado about nothing" sprang to mind. I'm using the Comfort light a lot now, and had never noticed until I went out of my way to reproduce it, then was left wondering what all the fuss was about. Of course, this is only my reaction, and may be at least in part because my Clara doesn't have any of the "spots" that others have mentioned, and because to see the "light bleed" at all requires me to fiddle with the settings in a way I never do in real world usage

So, as long as you're easily able to get a refund if you're unhappy with it, if the "comfort light" is an important feature for you, I would unhesitatingly urge the Clara as the ideal 6-inch.IF you get one with "light bleed" and if it's so bad you can't accept it, then return it and try the Paperwhite 4, which looks like an excellent reader itself. If the "comfort light" is not important, then just go with the Paperwhite.
