Extra info:

My iPhone is using dark mode and I have the blue light filter on roughly half.

My kindle is an old model e-ink with no light.

For me, yes. I notice that whenever I'm reading on my phone (night mode, blue light filter, lowest light setting), I will stay awake longer, my eyes strain, it takes me longer to fall asleep. When using my kobo (not backlit, but still lit - it has those leds all around the screen that light it up from above!!), it's like I was reading a paper book, except I can read in a dark room without any strain to my eyes whatsoever, and I can take on any position without having to adjust the light source!!! An absolute game-changer in terms of comfort. In fact, I think my eye strain is even lower with the e-ink reader compared to regular paper indoors, because I have a better light source no matter where I sit in my room.

Thank you, I'll look into the kobo. ๐Ÿ˜
