She says it's fine, but I can't look for myself until she comes to visit in the summer. From the start, it had worse coloration than the one I kept for myself.

I actually thought I had posted in the wrong thread, so I am as confused this morning. I need a second cup of coffee!

I got the problem solved now. Keeping the PW at 8 in light or dark and no eye strain whatsoever. I also resized my font to be the same size as my K4 at size 4 Seems be working great.

I am afraid I also have this. I returned Cybook Odyssey as I couldn't read from lighted screen without strain and squinting. I want to buy Paperwhite at one point but I wonder if I should. I absolutely CANNOT read white letters on black background as it immediately makes me dizzy and my eyes suffer. I see above that it is all right for you now though? Good to know.

All those points are moot with regard to my reading. If I'm going to read for extended periods of time, then I have to have ambient light. With no, or very limited ambient light (i.e., the Kindle screen is the primary light source), then there is no difference in using the Kindle or a tablet, at least to me. I just use the front light to make the screen whiter, or to add a bit of light to the ambient light if it's just a tad too dark to read comfortably.
At the moment it becomes so dark that the Kindle is going to look like an LCD-screen, then I don't want to read anymore. |

Thanks too, xendula! and if you are in a driving car and sun is shining through trees blinking fast do you also want to crawl in a dark corner? |
