Thanks for the update. I was afraid of that so had waited to see what you received. I think the comfort light wasn't quite ready yet. :| Unfortunately that was one of the main reasons for my purchase. I'm going to keep it, though.

I agree. Just not quite perfected yet when it comes to their comfort light technology. But I do like it and find it way more pleasurable to read in bed at night. It was just way to bright and harsh on my Glo so even with the "rainbows" (which you get used to quickly once you are engrossed into your story) it's much easier on the eyes now with the new comfort light. |

There appears to be a huge degree of variation in QC. Kobo emailed me asking for my address and then I haven't heard anything from them. Hopefully they will send me a replacement without the color variations. But if the alternative is just as bad as the original, I think I might end up returning both and going back to my Oasis. ,sigh |

Thanks for posting those photos, Catherine. I was waiting and wondering if mine was "normal" and it looks like it is. Love the one you're with and 'alla that. I'll just have to get used to the blotchiness when I read with the natural light at night.

>they packed the bubble envelope in a separate shipment, inside a box that was over 8 cubic feet big (24" x 36" x 24")
looks like they have stolen a page from the Amazon playbook :-) |

Oh and inside the 12 x 12 x 24 was a thinner cardboard box with almost the same dimensions. (It contained a diaper pail.) Funny thing was I threw the big box away. It disappeared from the dumpster. 2 weeks later, it was returned to same dumpster. This was from Amazon. |

I find I get lost in my story anyway and don't notice it after a while. So I'm not bothered by a non-perfect screen. Not sure that even exists anyway.

I, too, mostly read at night in the dark, with the warm light. It bugs me, but I am getting used to it. I still like the lighting on the KA1 better than my original Kobo Aura (HD). I sent in my request for a replacement a week ago. Haven't heard anything, but with the website saying out of stock until Sept. 30, I didn't really expect to hear anything until they have more to send. I guess I might need to accept that this is just the way the lighting is. |

Just got the email from Kobo CS saying that they are sending me a new device. It will ship in the next 5-7 days (not surprising to me since they were sold out).
Here's hoping it is a better one! |
