When it comes to orange lighting, my Glowlight 3 puts my Clara to shame.
I just – finally – really realized what you were saying. So, on the Kobos, it's either the white LEDs or the orange ones, but never both? On the Tolinos it's definitely both white and orange (all 13 LEDs at the same time) – and that includes the Clara HD clone, the Shine 3 (at least I'm 99% sure it does, but I don't currently have it with me). So, if Kobo can do it on the Tolinos they definitely can do it on the Kobos. Do you suppose they don't do it to save battery life? I can't quite understand it otherwise.

How do other readers handle this? (I only have "warm light" on the Tolinos.)
