I do most of my reading in good light, but feel I *might* could enjoy something like this for reading in bed.

However, though I could like a little more contrast on my reader, I DON'T want a super white screen, because it'd be likely to bug my eyes. I used to find that reading paper books in sunlight was bothersome, the white of the paper just reflected too MUCH light into my eyes! When I read on my Note, it is with a custom background that is as close as I could get it to the grey of my Sony pearl e-ink screens.

I'm interested in the Kobo for bedtime reading, but I want to see one of these glow screens in person first.
