Since my Nook Simple Touch w/Glowlight is "primitive" and not as bright as modern front-lit readers, I can do better on it -- but after 20 or 30 minutes I'm pretty much done on that one also. I can read for hours at a time with my non-lit eReader and a lighted case.
That's very unfortunate. Would you not still be better off with a modern reader, though, if you simply didn't use the light? Modern eInk "Carta" screens have far better contrast than the older generations of screens do.
