GoodyStore is weird in that, whatever Tolino they get in stock, it usually sells for about $30 to $40, despite the fact that the Vision 4 HD should have sold for about $70 at the time.
Wow you got a deal! At that price, I woulda snatched one up. The only one for sale on US eBay now is $160 and ships from... Estonia, I think?

As for comparing it to the Glowlight 3, it's more of an amber light (less orange), but very nice an even. The Shine 3 (Clara hardware clone) screen is oranger and looks a lot more like the Glowlight 3. I like both, but I like the amber of the Vision 4 more. (I'll see if I can find a camera that will actually not try to adjust out the orange or amber — it's frustrating not to be able to show it. BTW, I always read with the amber (warm) light on. I just adjusted it to the cold side of the lighting in an attempt to match the Voyage.
Mostly I just wanted to know if it had the range of the Glowlight 3. The Clara just doesn't turn orange enough, in my opinion.

Since Kobo makes both Kobos and Tolinos, I wonder why the Kobo orange light is relatively so weak?
