Deskisamess,

Thanks for replying. If the LED's in the Oasis are on, they will emit blue light, though because they are inward facing, the amount that reaches the reader's eyes would be less than a back-lit tablet. If the LED's are turned off, wouldn't you need an external light source to read in a dark room (e.g., at night in bed)? I do have workarounds for that (e.g.., orange, red, or amber LED reading lamps).

PS...I used to use the twilight app with my Nook and besides any blue light filtering for circadian rhythm issues, I found the amber screen relaxing).
