@JSWolf, i had mentioned the Tolino vision 4 HD, and was not 100% explicit about that but i live in Europe and it is available in my country. It is not available in electronic stores but only in a couple of bookstores, got to make some phone calls to see if i can check it out somewhere without buying to see if the light is warm enough to pay for (see also my first post).
Just the one, you said you didn't want as far as I know.

You should put in your profile where you live. Would make MR a lot easier for you and us.

Other than Kobo and Tolino, I don't know of any others with a warm light.

I am looking for a new ereader and i can't make up my mind
My ideal reader would have a 6 inch screen and the option to read with a warm/reddish light, and everything else functioning as it should. I would also buy a reader with ONLY the warm reddish light because the only time i used the light at all on my Kobo Aura was when reading in bed, but i figure they don't exist.
Readers that i know of that come close to my wishes are the Tolino vision 4 HD - but i read in the reviews that the light does not really get as warm or reddish as you might wish. In which case i am not so very willing to pay the 60 extra euros for it.
The Kobo Aura H2O has a nice reddish light, i checked it out today in a store. But i would really prefer to have a smaller reader, 6 inch instead of 6.8.

Are there other readers which have this nice reddish light without getting huge or very expensive?

Because if this is it, then i might just drop the whole red-light idea and buy one of the refurbished Kobo Glo HD's that they also had in this store (if they actually where the HD version because the boxes didn't say so).
Many LCD screen tablets running android are compatible with apps meant for that very purpose. I use one named "Twilight" (free) downloaded from the Google app store.

So if many people can use a PW3 without complaining of it's size or weight, then I see no reason to complain about the size/weight of the H2O2.
The idea that if 'many' don't complain then no one should complain is very, very odd.

I have an original H2O, and while I love it for the features, I'd be much happier with it if it were smaller and lighter.

Different people have different sized hands, since you apparently haven't noticed that.

I wasn't talking the original H2O. I was talking the H2O Edition 2, The H2O2 has a smaller bezel and is lighter.
