Following your logic: The average consumer will only buy a device when the screen is somewhat fuzzy. I'm saying that when comparing the Voyage to the Oasis. People obviously did not like the sharp Voyage screen. That is why the Voyage did not get a follow-up and the Oasis did.

Or we could just be honest and say that the features are on factor in an average consumer's decision, but then there are other factors as well. The Paperwhite hits the feature to cost ratio that makes most purchasers happy.
No, he's correct. If the light guide allowed red light to refract in an anomalous or unwanted way it wouldn't work properly. White light is composed of all frequencies of visible light so I still fail to see why the light guide would need to be re-engineered just to accommodate a few red LEDs? It basically works like an optic fibre run using total internal reflection.

Where is there even anecdotal evidence that warm lights compromise screen clarity on e-readers? I haven't read a single account of this.
