Any ereader without the light on works perfectly fine. I just use an ordinary reading lamp. Any kind of tablet is pretty bad. I use them extremely sparingly now (mostly just for magazines).

I know you can shut the light off Kindles and Nooks. I presume other manufacturer's allow this as well.

Finally, my Mom has a 1st generation Paperwhite - I can't use that more than half an hour. Don't know about the current Paperwhites.
I’m relieved to know I’m not the only person looking for eReaders for light sensitive eyes.

I was happy to see that the whole Kobo line has the ability to turn off the front light, but I thought it was only the most basic Kindle (which doesn’t have a light) that could do the same.

Are you saying your Voyage has that ability too?
