The Paperwhite 4 has all 5 (white) LEDs along the bottom. I’ve never had any issue with the lighting.
My understanding about the Oasis is that 13 of the LEDs are amber, the other 12 are white. Does anyone here know how the respective LEDs are arranged?
I assume the new Paperwhite also has a mix of white and amber LEDs. If we assume a similar ratio of white to amber, then it would have 9 amber and 8 white LEDs.
My guess is that they are interleaved along the bottom edge, except that Oasis doesn’t really have a bottom; I would think you would notice a a change as you flip it over, but I’ve never had an opportunity to use one.
Also I assume the main point of having more LED’s is to make the lighting more evenly distributed, not to have more brightness available.
