What is the best e-reader for reading at night without eye strain?

Best pick: Kobo Clara BW. For night reading with minimal eye strain, prioritize an e-reader with an E Ink screen, adjustable warm front light, dark mode, and a non-reflective display. The Kobo Clara BW is a strong all-around choice because it has a sharp black-and-white E Ink screen, warm lighting for bedtime, and no tablet-style backlight shining directly into your eyes.

If you mainly buy Kindle books, choose the Kindle Paperwhite instead. If you want the most compact budget-friendly Kindle for night reading, the basic Kindle is fine, but the lack of warm light makes it less comfortable at bedtime.
