Lowering the brightness seems to help a little. What brightness setting do other H2O users run when reading during the day in a well lit room? I'm at 28.

Thanks again.
In a well lit room, I have the light off. Why use the light when you don't need to? All it does is eat at the battery for no good reason. A well lit room needs no light. Also in sunlight I do not use the light.

In the dark in bed, I use 4%. But, the font I am using is my modified Charis SIL called ChareInk. It has enough weight to it that I don't need to up it with the advanced font controls. Plus it's a very nice looking font on an eInk screen.

Clipped onto the headboard of the bed is a nice flex neck LED lamp that I can use to point at the screen for reading when I don't need the light on in the bedroom with the LED lamp.

I'm not one of those types that keeps the light on all the time. There's no need The Carta screen has good contrast and with a Kobo, you can adjust the font weight so you won't always need the light on. Plus there is a patch to allow advanced font control to work with side loaded TTF fonts.
