readers with built in light?

I'm looking for a new reader and since I'm a sucker for new and shiny my eyes glomed onto glowy e-readers. Not having seen any in real life, I figured I'd ask for your opinion. Any of you tried kindle paperwhite or kobo glo? maybe something else? What's your experience?

I love my Kindle paperwhite--I like having the lighting, but I find it a lot more comfortable to read than a tablet. The battery lasts a long time, even with wifi on, and if I turn off wifi the battery lasts for weeks. And I don't know if you've got a Kindle now or something else, but I don't find the mobi format particularly limiting.
