- Retric 4y agoGlowing in the dark is as much a bug as a feature. Lit screens work best in a dark room, where a reading light is more pleasant when you pause reading to do something else. I spend an inordinate amount of time either turning lights on an off or trying to use the not quite sufficient tablet screen to do stuff.
- real-dino 4y agoI use a headtorch, and then end up staying awake for 2 hours after.
- Tagbert 4y agoAn e-ink reader does it better because the front lighting is less glaring and the overall image is more stable. It’s hard to get a phone screen to the right brightness level for reading in the dark, but an ereader will have a very dim front light that you only notice when the room is completely dark.
- kiririn 4y agoDo any exist with warm colour temperatures? My kindle paperwhite is at least 6500k and basically unusable without an external light source
- tlavoie 4y agoMy Kobo Libra H2O has quite a warm backlight, with variable brightness. I don't recall if the colour temperature is adjustable however.
- obahareth 4y agoSome of the ones from Onyx Boox have customizable cold/warm temperature sliders.
- terramex 4y agoKindle Paperwhite 5th gen has both amber and white LEDs and its color temperature can be adjusted. I don't know exactly what light temperature range it has but it feels very "warm" on maximum setting.
