Hello everyone.

I want to get back into healthy habits. This includes reading books before bed and no screen before bed.

The thing is that (for now) my partner and our child all sleep in the same bedroom. I tend to get to bed after they are already asleep and don’t want to disturb them.

What’s the best option to read in the dark that doesn’t involve blue light screen (smartphone) or high luminosity?

Are there e-readers with very very dim light that still allow comfortable reading?

Thanks for your input.

    Any e-ink display eReader will work for you, but I personally recommend Kobo. They have a more open approach to loading files compared to Kindle, and they tend to be very affordable for a high quality device.

      Agree. Also the new Kobo Libra 2 has a dark mode option (white text on black background).

      Upvote for Kobo - I have a kobo Clara. The backlight can change colour with time of day and brightness can be changed.

      Or what about listening to audiobooks or podcasts?
