Warm light Onyx Boox

BecDiggity · 02-16-2022, 09:35 PM

Hi all,

I'm looking at buying a Poke 3 (Or maybe the leaf) and would love some info about the warm light.

I like to read in the dark with a very orange screen and the brightness set fairly low. My question is how dark does the poke 3 go? I really don't like a yellow backlight at all, the redder the better.

I'm only looking at the leaf as some people have said it's nice to read with a white device rather than black, and it has speakers. Any thoughts on this?

(I've also heard the KOBO has a nice orange screen but I need to have Play Books installed)

Any help would be appreciated!

For Google Play Books you need an Android device - no Kobo or .....

Thankyou, yes that's a problem for me. I've seen pictures of the poke 3 looking yellow, but I've seen some people say the poke is quite red. I'm just confused right now lol.

I'm thinking more of a reddish-pink-orange color - certainly not yellow.
Boox Leaf too.

I read Google Play books on my Kobos. No need to have it installed.

But no Kobo I've seen has had red color temperature.

Almost everything on the market (I know, that's a sweeping generalization) uses a TI LM3630A LED driver chip for the front light. As such, it has the innate ability to go down to a brightness level of 1 photon/hour (approximately). Whether the user interface makes this readily accessible or not is another question. In any case, a 3rd party app can access it.
