Lots of screen shots.
As for the bogus research report of a few months back what made it bogus was that they researched tablets (iPads only, at that) and claimed it applied to ereaders.
No understanding shown that the products are two entirely different beasts. That was and remains bogus.
Beyond that, blue filters are, like most display settings, a matter of personal taste. |
Speaking with my physicist's hat on, I really don't see that it
would make a difference. It's the
light that (supposedly) causes the issue, and both devices have lighting LEDs. An eInk reader is frontlit, and a tablet is backlit, but your eyes don't care whether photons that enter them come through a screen or are reflected off it. A photon is a photon. If light from the blue part of the spectrum causes sleep issues, that should be equally true for front- and backlit readers.
Can you elaborate on why you believe the research to be invalid?
