Kobo Glo Illuminated Screen

The Kobo and Sony e-reader both have excellent e-ink displays. No difference on that front. The biggest difference is the fact that the Kobo Glo has a build in light.  This makes it possible to read in the dark. The following images show the difference of the screen compared to the Sony PRS-T2 with the following Kobo Glo lights settings;

  • No Light
  • Minimal Light (1%) 
  • 50% Light
  • 100% Light

The photos were shot with an iPhone under poor light circumstances. 

I have no problem with reading in the dark (pitch black) with the minimal light setting (1%). Just throw in more light if you need/want more contrast when reading in the dark.
