       What kind of lighting do you use in the evenings for reading?After a day's work in artificial lighting and screen use, I can't bear cool white light, so we put dim lighting at home.While it is relaxing, it is too dim to read, so that discourages me, and the mere thought of turning on harsher lighting hurts my eyes.I don't want to read a Kindle in this dim lighting either. Should reading be a daytime-only activity for me, then?

       @samebchase I use the builtin light in the Kindle to read at night. I also switch on dark mode. This works for me.

       @abnv I don't mind reading the Kindle in the evening. Unfortunately, the books on top of my pile are technical books in paper form.

       @samebchase I see. I'm curious. Do you have any recommendations?

       @abnv I am currently reading Computer Systems: A Programmer's Perspective, whenever I can find a bit of time.

       @abnv If you're interested, get the US Edition, as the Indian one has the exercises replaced for an inexplicable reason.Got the hardcover, the quality of printing etc. is so much nicer.

       @samebchase That book is in my to-read list. I find long term caring for paper books difficult so I prefer reading ebooks. But I like reading on paper more. I wish there were a library or a book club from where I could borrow paper books I want to read.

       @abnv yeah, ideally there should be more public libraries where books like this can be read/borrowed.
