I know. And I actually had the gall to make an offer that he accepted instead of paying $5 more. I can't believe I was that cheap. But, as mentioned, at the time they were coming up fairly often.

Then you probably wouldn't like the Vision 4. It doesn't go dark orange, it's a lighter amber color (hopefully I can an get accurate picture). It looks more like the Oasis 3. The Shine 3 (Clara clone) goes to a much darker orange, but it's screen is not as white on the cold end. I'll try to take some pictures of it as well. Personally I like the amber over the orange, but they're really two different colors. The Shine 3's screen looks quite a bit like the Glowlight 3.

The Vision 4 HD was pre-Kobo. The Epos came out shortly after Kobo bought – or merged or joined or whatever it is they did – with Tolino. I'm pretty sure the Epos was probably already developed pre-Kobo. The Shine 3 (Clara hardware clone) was – I'm guessing – the first Tolino device Kobo designed. If you like the darker orange, I think you would like this one. Much darker than the Vision 4.
