The same light level was used for tablet reading and paper book reading. Because the sleep medicine docs, in their journal article, used the word "dim" to describe the room lighting, those who wish to disbelieve have an out. But the actual described ambient florescent lighting wasn't what the average person would call dark, or even dim. If it was, the experimental subjects would have refused to read the paper books.
I think a fairer (although hardly devastating) criticism is that the authors were engaging in spin when describing the ambient lighting as dim, perhaps to discourage focus on the role of the cool-white fluorescent lights.
