Since you’re posting this in a Kobo forum, I’ll suggest the Clara. I don’t know how the Clara HD compares to the 2E or other newer models, but my Clara HD with comfort light turned all the way on while at 1% brightness is extremely dim. I do a lot of night reading. In comparison, my Elipsa (first gen without comfort light) is far too bright at 1% even with an inverted screen.

I imagine any Kobo with comfort light will suit your criteria. Enable Calibre’s web server on your Mac, and you can download a new book in the pitch dark from the comfort of your bed over Wi-Fi. No cables needed.
