Thanks for the pictures! Unrelated to the lighting, I like your full screen layout on the H20. I had to jump through major hoops to get close to that with my Aura HD. Are you using stock firmware?
Me too, could you eplain how you did that please.

No, my H2O is patched. See this thread starting at about Post #63. The links to the thread explaining how to patch are a few posts below that one.

It happens to be one of the better Goodereader videos. It shows how much better the H2O's screen and light are compared to the HD and the PW2.

I may as well add a picture as well. This is the H2O at 30%
To my actual eye it would appear a little more white and less bluish. Pictures just never get it entirely accurate.

exact , I do not like the videos of that blog, but this in particular seems quite useful

Here are three kobo devices in my family. On the left is a first release Glo with a blue-white light, in the middle is my H2O with a yellow-green light and on the right is a second-generation Glo which is very close to the colour of the H2O, just a bit more white. All lights are at 30% manufacturer's settings.
That looks far more yellow than mine at the same setting. Is it possible you might have a faulty H2O?

Yours looks very white, almost hinting more towards a blue than a yellow. I think these devices do vary a bit, as well as how they appear in a photo (just look at how yellow they look in that video!). Since my H2O is very similar to our second Glo, my feeling is that it is not faulty. The colour changes depending on the light that it is viewed in and it does not bother me. But if a person did not like the hue in the H2O they received, I would encourage them to look at the colour of another one, if possible.

It's good to know it's patchable. It's a shame that it's still necessary to hack the device to achieve the simple layout that many prefer.

Mhm, there seems to be a pretty substantial difference between individual devices.

30% seems really high, though. I use my Aura at 3-5%.

You do realize how difficult it is to judg brightness and colours from isolated pictures, don't you? Even if the camera and picture settings were "perfect", our brains cannot interpret them correctly.

Two examples. The tiles A and B in the first one are the same shade of grey. The tiles in the center of the top and front face of the second one are the same color.

Actually no, I think everybody does. I was just joking by the way. I have no problem with people watching their videos - as long as you turn the sound off!
