I literally cannot focus when I'm reading online for some reason + I love looking at my books on my bookshelf, it makes me feel smart

do you use a stylus or mark up your books?

do you know how the B&W ones compare to color in terms of blue light? they say they use stuff to reduce it, but it's hard to know without seeing it in person and trying it out

The one I have is not compatible with styluses, to my knowledge, I don't mark up my books. As for blue light, I am not sure. I use a standard black and white ereader, with the brightness set to 5%, just enough to be readable in total darkness, thanks to the e-ink screen any light is just a bonus, not a detractor.

I hate reading off of OLED or LCD, VA, etc for any extended period of time, so E-Ink is the way to go for me.
