Hi people,
Have started to get back into reading in bed rather than watching videos on tablet/phone... Thats supposed to be bad for your eyes/brain!?
So i was wondering if anyone uses eBook readers like the kindle?
How do you find them with eye strain at night? Are they not like tablets (blue light rays)

thebishman I've got a paperwhite and I love it. I also take it with me at times when I'm away from home as it's so light and convenient. As well as Amazon and epub, Google "free ebooks" and you'll get a few suggestions.
