I regularly read at night in a darkened room, and the difference between my older Kobo Aura and Glowlight Plus (white screen) and the Glowlight 3 (adjustable color) is very noticeable. The amber glow of the Glowlight 3 is less glaring. I'd definitely recommend one of the Kobos with adjustable lighting over the Paperwhite.

I had almost decided to order Clara HD, but then the lightbleed problems made me reconsider, I've seen the video for fixing it with tape, but I'd rather get a device that works properly without fixing the hardware. So now I'm thinking about the H2O2. I haven't found that much information about it yet, it's a bit difficult to search with the name written in different ways...

I think the Clara's lightbleed is real, but overstated. I've heard that Kobo's fixed it in newer models. But having said all that, I don't blame you for being reticent.
Kobo in general seems prone to technical difficulties on their readers. The Clara, Forma and Aura One all seem to have different complaints.
But I have never heard of any of those issues regarding the H2O (1 or 2). It seems to be a good and stable reader. You get the waterproofing of the Paperwhite and the color changing light of the Clara.
