I recently got a Kobo Glo because I didn't want to wait for another 6 months to find out Sony really isn't coming out with a front-lit reader. In a normally lit room, there's barely a discernible difference on the Glo between the light off and the lowest setting. In a totally dark room, the lowest light is even a bit too dim for me to read by, I have to raise it up a notch.
Either the hardware or the firmware has been improved since they first came out which regulates the light much better. There also are no "cones" at the bottom where the LEDs are either that were first apparent.
It's not a perfect reader by any means, especially when you've been spoiled by an x50 reader. But the light on it is superb, I couldn't ask for any improvement on that aspect of the reader.
