Did you try dimming the light. I generally keep my light on my Kindle at about 11, 12 or 13. Usually 12. On my Glowlight 3 I find it most comfortable just a hair past the middle.
If I turn them up much higher than that the background gets brighter and the text gets lighter, making it hard to focus. |
My problem is I can't seem to find a "right" setting. Too bright and I have the same problem you mention (text fading out). Too dim and I find myself squinting. Somewhere in the middle is usually where I would go, but then I find myself continually having to refocus or move the reader closer or further. It's like the text is "floating" off the screen. It's irritating.
My Nook Simple Touch with Glowlight is not quite as bad for me, but after reading 20 to 30 minutes on that one it becomes a chore to keep my "focus" also. I have a lot less trouble during the day than at night with these, so it might have something to do with dark and light contrast and peripheral vision. I don't know. I've just about given up trying to figure it out.
