Ebook reader with light. How to choose the right model?

Relaxes, calms, reduces stress levels - reading before bed has many advantages and... unfortunately, one huge disadvantage: without a bedside lamp it is difficult to practice. With help from an ebook reader with a light, not only you won't disturb anyone in the evenings, but also you won't damage your eyesight!

How does a backlit screen work? Ebook reader example 

Light on e-book reader have eliminated the insufficiency left by tablets. Why? All because of the LCD screens that users reading on these devices were accustomed to. However, e-book readers had a huge advantage: they offered more comfort and, most importantly, did not damage the eyesight. 

So it was a natural step to create a feature that would allow comfortable and healthy reading in the evenings. The ebook reader with light has become a fact that millions of readers around the world have come to love. 

How does the light of an e-book reader work?

It's very simple, and all thanks to the LEDs located at the bottom of the screen frame. The light they generate is not directed straight at the user's eyes, but illuminates the screen evenly.  

This is because the diodes shine into the optical fiber, which is laminated as one of the layers of the screen. Then, the optical fiber distributes the light across the screen and... done! 

Is screen with light bad for eyes? Absolutely not! The ebook reader with light primarily uses white and yellow LEDs, which are arranged alternately. This allows you to adjust the intensity and color of the light on your device. The state of illumination depends primarily on the class of LEDs installed and the quality of the optical fiber, specifically, its transparency.

An ebook reader: with or without lighting?

Are you facing the decision to buy your dream device, but still not quite sure whether you will need a screen light? See the comparison and decide which version is best suited to your reading needs. 

Non-light ebook reader VS ebook reader with light

In both cases, it's a guarantee of reading that doesn't tire your eyes. However, the reader's lighting function is something extra that, unless you require it, you don't need.  

Again, let's go back to the times when ebook readers did not exist. How did you read in the evenings back then? Without a bedside lamp that shone directly on the pages, there was no other option. Is it comfortable? Not always. Can it shine straight into the eyes? As much as possible! 

An ebook reader without a light will work best for people who simply do not like to read in the evenings and at night. Instead, they appreciate reading their favorite books during the day and nothing, but nothing in the world, can convince them to read when it gets dark.

However, after that, an ebook reader with light appeared on the market, thanks to which evening reading before bedtime took on a new meaning.  

Therefore, the ebook reader with light will be loved by people who: 

• find time to read only in the evening, before bedtime,
• do not want to disturb the person sleeping next to them,
• want to take care of their eyesight by reading on a device that doesn't glare at them with strong light aimed straight at their eyes.

You will adjust an ebook reader with lighting to suit you and how you use it. 

Remember, even if you feel you don't need this feature for anything - you can simply turn it off or minimize it even to 0 in the settings of your reader with light.

Which ebook reader has a light? Bet on these models 

There's no denying it: light has become a standard for e-book readers. Therefore, the models available on the market offering this possibility are really numerous. So which ones are worth paying attention to?

Firstly, you need to consider what other features of the device you care most about, because... if you choose well, an ebook reader with backlighting can give you more than you expect! 

This is exactly the case with both models of inkBOOK devices: the 6" inkBOOK Calypso Plus and the 7.8" inkBOOK Focus.

The readers not only offer a screen with light, but also adjust the color of the illumination from cold to warm, as well as change the brightness level. This allows you to personalize your inkBOOK reader and read on it in a comfortable way that makes you most happy!

In addition, inkBOOK ereaders include numerous applications, including Nextory, Storytel or even Wattpad, a wireless file transfer function, and an internal memory that can hold up to 10,000 eBooks.

A screen for reading books? Only E Ink! 

The key element of any reader is the E Ink screen. Thanks to the use of appropriate technology, it resembles a printed sheet of paper to an illusion. 

Together with the lighting - which, as we know, does not shine directly into your eyes, but illuminates the sheet of paper evenly - it forms a perfect duo appreciated by any book lover reading in the evening. Why? 

Because an ebook reader with an E Ink screen with light allows you to read uninterrupted without worrying about any damage to your eyesight. 

Plus, you can easily read while lying in bed and not worry about disturbing the other people in the same room!

What to clean the screen of an e-book reader with light? 

This is a question that many e-reader users ask themselves. It is natural that a device that is used often, eventually, can get dirty at some point. Does a screen with a light and screen without a light clean in the same way?

Yes, exactly yes! These two versions of the screen do not differ in the method of cleaning, and it is done the same way as for smartphones or tablets. You can use special cleaners for this, such as foam. 

However, a dry microfiber cloth will work best, and it will take wonderful care of your e-book screen with light!
