That's an impressive reader. I don't see anything about a light, maybe I overlooked it. At this point I really like having a light on an ereader.
The Amazon page clearly says in the title there is a built-in light. You can also look on our wiki page for this product.

OK, what does "da bomb" mean, please? It's an expression I haven't encountered before.
In Brit-speak it means "rather spiffy"

No, they're buggy, useless and often faulty. I don't like the shape of their logo either, and the corners have a weird type of roundness. Also, their black is not the sort of black I like best.

My Kindle works fine, but I'm still looking at Kobo's now and then because of all of the font customization options. I'm just offsetting your comment here to keep myself from ordering one on a whim

That's right. The Aura's styling reminds me of chili sauce.

Good luck with that. You'll come over to the dark side eventually.

Oh yeah....they're so bad, so bad, that I have 6 of them. They're like tribbles! Now I'm stalking the web for a $30 Touch. They are just awful.

If you find a two or three of them, let me know. The Kobo Touches seem to hold their value.

Yes, I have found that out. I have seen them going for $30 + shipping, so about $40. I was hoping not to go that high, though. I want to rip it open, after all, which could damage it. So I am sticking to my $30 limit. I don't know why they are holding their value, this is a couple of years old! And not lighted! So it stands to reason that it should be cheaper.

I know what you mean. I have been eyeing a Glo. I expected Kobo to phase it out with the new Aura, but no, it's still being sold. Now there is news of a new Kobo coming out, I'll keep my eyes peeled for a drop in price.

It pays to stalk multiple times a day. I found a Glo for $40, and they had 2, as I recall. I am sure it was an error, but they sent it w/o complaint. I should have gotten them both!

And have you seen the prices for the Mini these days? OMG! Last summer they were easily had for $40. No longer!!!
