I have a feeling our collective concern over slight shades of blueness in low-light frontlit displays is probably overblown.

I am asking because I am migranes prone, of the epileptic sort, so bluish lights are a big no-go for me. But the ipad is fine for me, so if it is the same kind of blue (unnoticeable for me on the ipad) I am fine.

I was not talking at all about the clearness of the text...where did you get the impression I was questionning it ?

Mine has a very slight and barely noticeable bluish hue when I use the light in max setting(and then I don't read, I use it as a makeshift torchlight).
When you use it in more normal setting the screen is almost perfectly white(at least in my device).

Thanks for the info, so it's worth a try then. I own a PW that is very good, and have another one on back order but I wanted to try (again) a kobo so maybe I'll cancel the PW order and buy a kobo glo instead.
