The comfort light definitely is a plus. I wanted to try a different ereader so I recently acquired the Pocketbook Touch HD 3 that has the smartlight (similar to the comfort light). I do like the smartlight since I read a lot in bed at night and in my bubble bath with the lights out (candlelit
), my heart is still dedicated to my Kobo that does not have the warm light. I think Kobo is just a much, much better ereader than anything else out there. Much more user-friendly.
