Best reading light for Max 3?

Mastiff · 04-15-2020, 04:55 AM

I have bought a Max 3 for proof reading (I use Cool Reader as the app with dpCustom Mono 2 because in that font errors pops out of the screen). It's the closest thing yet to paper. I have been using an Adam for some years, but I wanted something a bit more paperlike. I tried the ReMarkable, but that was a bit greyer than the Boox Max 3, and also I like that I don't have to turn the page as often.

But the light is an issue. I'm 54 and I do notice that my eyes needs a bit more light to see comfortably than they did ten years ago. I have had full lense replacement with monovision (one reading eye on arm lenght range, so computer monitor distance, and one long range eye), but that didn't change how much light I need. For now I'm using my wife's reading lamp (a floor standing thing), but she wants it back, and it's taking a bit too much space on my office. So does anybody have a good suggestion for a light that fits these gigantic things?

E.g. YPPERLIG

Thanks! I was actually looking for something to clip on the thing, but maybe that's a better idea because of the size.
