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.

    With white light you need to wait for 10 to 15 minutes for your eyes to get accustomed to the darkness.

    Not when using the eyepatch method though 😉🏴‍☠️

    But in all seriousness, mine stated the above on the package. Maybe they didn’t know any better or it was a translation error. There are multiple benefits of having red light instead of bright white. Not irritating your eyes is basically the same as not irritating someone else’s eyes.
