I often fall asleep reading my Voyage at night so if it has a blue light it is not keeping me awake. I have read that some people are more sensitive to this than others however.
Yeah some people aren't so bothered by blue light. My nan, mum & me all use red light bulbs in the evening otherwise we can't sleep. My brothers don't seem affected by it & could fall asleep standing upright, barefoot on drawing pins, with a 50,000 Lumen white light shining in their eyes

Is it correct that the Voyage has an adaptive light but the Paperwhite 3 does not? Can the adaptive thingy (I'm assuming this is an auto brightness changing function) be turned off? So that you can fully control the level of brightness manually?
