      Ill be honest i just read in the light. Or use a small 50c book light. Its a decade old ebook reader. It works and still lasts about a week with a very old battery.

      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?
