i'm trying to compare two situations regarding eye strain: reading on kobo glo in totally dark room with backlight on, and doing the same on tablet? is light brightness doing the same strain on your eyes?

As I said, to me it seems better. Although it must be said that the lowest setting is really too high imho for reading in total darkness for a prolonged period of time (although I have read in total darkness for a couple of hours).

It's a shame that it can't be trimmed back a little further. Perhaps it's something that Kobo will look at in the future for a software upgrade, or perhaps a gel screen cover of some kind will be developed by someone.

Please all do answer the poll about light level if we want to get the message across to Kobo.

Right! Exactly why I set it up...Hopefully they will correct the issue with a firmware update. The "too strong" light has been mentioned in other threads as a reason for return and going to another brand. I'm not interested in a Kindle or a Nook, so I'm waiting for the correction to occur on the Glo.

Same here, page just looks 'whiter'.

But what fall temperatures? I've got 8 inches of snow out there (brrrr)

I must be searching at the wrong spot but where is the poll about the 'too bright' issue? I'd like to support that.

It's now on the top (almost). I bumped it up with a comment since it had gone to page 2...
