So you prefer the bouncy-wouncy light vs. the straight light.

When I look at my H2O with the light on, I see the LEDs shining from under the bottom of the bezel. It's not bouncing off of the eInk screen. It's shining over the eInk screen from the bottom up. So from what I gather, the LCD screen is shining at you because the light is going up where the eInk light is not shining at you.

So the light for the eInk screen is not bouncy-wouncy.
