    There are snap-on small lights that would illuminate the Kindle screen, rather than glow in your eyes. People used to read books too without a backlight through various ways.

      Yeah but thats additional item you need to have with you.

      Not sure what you mean by no backlight is easy for the eyes. Is it really bad?

      EDIT: not you, but the person i replied to

        True, I have 3 book lights scrambled at different rooms in my home, and still managed to forget all of them for a recent trip.

        But the only more modern reader I’ve used (Onyx boox, white backlight) did its job at night, but still felt a bit straining for my eyes. Maybe it gets better with a yellow-ish or orange backlight, these feel better for me on the clip-on lights, but I haven’t tried one for backlight.
