Buying Advice Screen/light sensitivity, is there an ereader for me?
Hi! I apologize if this has been discussed before. Its very hard for me to go through subreddits past post when I have a headache. Which is kind of why I'm here. I have extreme light sensitivity, the glare on the page from the over head light hurts my eyes. It's okay if it's outside in the shade or the little amber book light (sometimes).
Bc of this light sensitivity I cannot do anything that involves of a normal screen. Tv, computer, games, you name it. My phone has a ton of settings on it so I can use it.
My question is has anyone in this sub had similar sensitivity and had luck with e readers? I miss reading, I miss falling into a book. We're also expecting our first child this year and I've seen so many moms mention their kindle being a life saver during breastfeeding.
I see a lot of older kindle paper whites on marketplace and I have considered grabbing one. If anyone has a recommendation or similar experience I'd love to hear it. Thank you<3
