Yep. Obviously Amazon figured waterproofing and built-in Audible support was more important than installing colored LEDs. Maybe Amazon is not yet happy with the quality control of the night lighting yet. I don't know, I expected the new Paperwhite to have night lighting also, but I didn't expect it to be waterproof (so, obviously, someone else's priorities). If they did both it would probably bump the Paperwhites out of $130 range and they wouldn't have a "low-end," front-lit reader.
Suggestion to the original poster, since this is your second thread on this subject it's obvious you want a Reader with colored LEDs. Kobo makes readers with colored LEDs as does Barnes & Noble and several others. You might want to look at one of these. I don't know what more I can say. Amazon's priorities don't match yours.
