For years, I’ve been struggling with every type of reading light/gizmo available and in one way or another they all have come up short. The idea of an ergonomically correct, electronic reader capable of point size changes and adequate back lighting is what I have been hoping for and probably won’t exist unless and until a company like Apple produces it.
Thanks for the feedback.

We'd all like to see what Apple comes up with if ever. For now the most promising prototype of lighted eink was
this. I have absolutely no idea where this has gone to. Even the button layout is appealing, especially if the display can be inverted from top to bottom.
