Y'know I'd love love LOVE an e-reader with a red light.

Not a warm white light, not an orange light, not a yellow light; a RRRED light. Like, the colour red. As in red LEDs.

Decades of insomnia only alleviated by using a rooted phone with a red-subpixels-only option have ruined me for anything else.

(and I resent that to get Proper Night Mode on a phone you've got to root it, that really should be a legally mandated requirement on anything with a screen tbh)

@ifixcoinops surprisingly, iPads have a red-only display mode hidden in accessibility settings, and a super-dim mode as well. Although they’re not really e-readers

@tomfinnigan @ifixcoinops ooh… good spot! Just added a couple of shortcuts to turn Rubylith mode on a couple of hours after sunset and back off again around sunrise. Dunno if that requires iPadOS 17 though.
