It has two brightness settings, and I find that the lower setting is easier on the eyes (less reflective glare).
My only complaint is that, on the charge cradle (which is a bit heavy - probably weighted so the unit won't fall over when charging), the charging light is always on - even if the unit isn't in the cradle. The unit was a tad pricy - I paid $35 for it at Barnes and Noble, but I had a gift card so it wasn't nearly as bad.

I got this also, after trying out several others that were not bright enough, and whose batteries had to be replaced at too high a cost. It works very well for me with an even light. The charge lasts a really long time, so only used the base a few times.
It is odd that the charge light is on all the time, but as the charge lasts so long, just unplug it and stick it in a drawer until needed.
