You can find quite a bit of that information on eInk's site. ePaper Films might be a decent starting point.

No. Only applies to the bare glass sheets.

I have tried the new paperwhite and my opinion is mixed for what it is. It feels like the OS and overall stability has gotten quicker-snappy as everything had no lag and was instant, which was unlike 11gen where it sometimes would slow down to a crawl. I noticed the screen difference almost immediately and loved the new rounded edges. That's were the love stopped, however. First one screen warmth was almost brown as cardboard- like having warm light set to max settings on 11th gen for me at 10-15% brightness without having warm light enabled, max brightness made it worse. I seen photo's of this, but they were not as bad as the one I had so I thought it down to bad luck. Second one was even worse, however. I doubt I'll try for a third time, but something feels off with the screen, that or I'm unlucky

I find there's no reason to discuss about this. It's clear that "no buttons" actually started as a feature in amazon mind, well going touch and having no need of them was the feature. They recognized their appeal and reintroduced them as a feature with oasis, but at least today it looks like they don't think there's enought people that wants them or they'd include them more, so yeah i would say it's a feature but one that's hardly recognized as a plus, at least for amazon

Maybe you're unlucky. But still, I agree it could be colder and it's has a warmer light then the 11th gen, even and the coldest light without warm.
Could it be corrected by a firmware update (if the hardware is capable of it I guess it could)?

Yes, my Voyage had a very uneven frontlight too. The text was very sharp, though.

I was never particularly enamoured of my Voyage; no warm light and the ergonomics felt wrong to me. I sold it several years ago.

I've more or less accepted the fact that there will never be a Goldilocks ereader for me. All ereaders I've used have had their faults. I'm quite content with my current Kobo devices, but they're not perfect.

Got the matcha base, loving it, fast and best looking eink i have, finally got back to recessed screen. It's better than scribe but i cannot understand if it's just for all the layers missing on it or it's also carta 1300... I personally feel it is, but i don't have the kobo to compare, i just tried it in store.
