You're absolutely right. I actually felt slightly guilty for not keeping the Libra (I'm not a big Amazon fan on principe alone). But if the screen bothers me it's better to switch to Kindles again.

Unfortunately for many people who can't keep the lights on at night, all the faults of eink screens and frontlights are especially noticeable in the dark.

Yes, in good lighting during the day I was fine, but in the evenings (and nights, since I read when I can't sleep) the screen made my eyes tired (could be that part's in my head, but it felt that way to me).
I still like the features Kobo offers though. But the screens of the Kindle remain my favorite. And that jailbreaking business looks pretty daunting (even if it were already possible for the Oasis 3), so I don't think I will go that far with my Kindle(s).
