Yes, it creates a warm evening lighting that turns you into a reading mood. However, the reading lamp can&#8217;t be used personally \u2013 it is usually too bright for anyone who is in the same room but prefers to sleep.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The front light in Kindle models and other e-readers solves two problems.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>First, it makes the text readable in any lighting condition. LED lights produce a glow on a screen surface that you can adjust to your needs and current lighting.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Secondly \u2013 and it&#8217;s even more important \u2013 the light hardly leaves the surface of the Kindle&#8217;s display. Thanks to that, you can read in a bed next to your significant other\u00a0and you both are happy.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Did you know you can bring the front light benefits to your print books?<\/strong> <a class=\"tx-udl\" href=\"https:\/\/www.wordglo.com\/\">WordGlo<\/a> has released a patent-pending device that combines two benefits:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul><li>It produces an even light on a surface of a print book the way front light in e-readers works \u2013\u00a0there are LED lamps on the side that spread the light within a thin glass panel.<\/li><li>It can be used as a bookmark \u2013 simply leave WordGlo where it is \u2013 it&#8217;s thin and lightweight enough to be kept in a closed book.<\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p>What&#8217;s great about the light that you keep exactly at what to want to see is that it&#8217;s easy on the eyes. You don&#8217;t have to use a very light reading lamp to see the text if change your position.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The company claims the two-in-one front light can be used with e-readers as well. It means you can use it with your older Kindle model that&#8217;s not equipped with the front light.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large is-resized\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/ebookfriendly.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/09\/WordGlo-like-Kindle-front-light.jpg?resize=540%2C474&#038;ssl=1\" alt=\"WordGlo like Kindle front light\" class=\"wp-image-148605\" width=\"540\" height=\"474\" srcset=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/ebookfriendly.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/09\/WordGlo-like-Kindle-front-light.jpg?resize=540%2C474&amp;ssl=1 540w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/ebookfriendly.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/09\/WordGlo-like-Kindle-front-light.jpg?resize=220%2C193&amp;ssl=1 220w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/ebookfriendly.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/09\/WordGlo-like-Kindle-front-light.jpg?resize=768%2C674&amp;ssl=1 768w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/ebookfriendly.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/09\/WordGlo-like-Kindle-front-light.jpg?resize=160%2C140&amp;ssl=1 160w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/ebookfriendly.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/09\/WordGlo-like-Kindle-front-light.jpg?w=840&amp;ssl=1 840w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 540px) 100vw, 540px\" data-recalc-dims=\"1\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>WordGlo comes with a rechargeable battery which works for up to 30 hours, so you will need to recharge every few days if you are an avid book reader.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The only thing I miss in WordGlo is warm light control. As you probably know, <a href=\"https:\/\/ebookfriendly.com\/rumor-kindle-paperwhite-5-warm-light\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">this helpful feature will most probably come to Kindle Paperwhite 5<\/a>. It reduces the level of blue light in the evening to minimize negative effects bedtime light-exposure has on sleep quality.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The front-light and bookmark for print books costs right now $24.99 (<s>$49.99<\/s>). The company offers 30-day guarantee and ships the product worldwide.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>For the time being, WordGlo is being sold only through the company&#8217;s website, but we expect it to be <a rel=\"nofollow noopener\" href=\"https:\/\/www.amazon.com\/s?k=wordglo+book+light&amp;tag=efly01-20\">offered on Amazon<\/a> sooner or later.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><a class=\"buy\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\" target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/www.wordglo.com\/products\/sale\">\u21e2 WordGlo<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n<hr class=\"wp-block-separator has-alpha-channel-opacity is-style-dots\"\/>\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n<p>More to check out:<\/p>\n\n\n<p>[ef-archive number=5 tag=&#8221;kindle&#8221;]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The two-in-one reading lamp and bookmark from WordGlo illuminates words in a book, not the entire room.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":9,"featured_media":148604,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"advanced_seo_description":"","jetpack_seo_html_title":"","jetpack_seo_noindex":false,"jetpack_post_was_ever_published":false,"_jetpack_newsletter_access":"","_jetpack_dont_email_post_to_subs":false,"_jetpack_newsletter_tier_id":0,"_jetpack_memberships_contains_paywalled_content":false,"_jetpack_memberships_contains_paid_content":false,"footnotes":"","jetpack_publicize_message":"","jetpack_publicize_feature_enabled":true,"jetpack_social_post_already_shared":false,"jetpack_social_options":{"image_generator_settings":{"template":"highway","enabled":false}}},"categories":[7],"tags":[11659,11150,11435],"jetpack_publicize_connections":[],"jetpack_featured_media_url":"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/ebookfriendly.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/09\/WordGlo-front-light-for-print-books.jpg?fit=1600%2C853&ssl=1","jetpack_shortlink":"https:\/\/wp.me\/pdOQhx-CEO","jetpack_sharing_enabled":true,"jetpack_likes_enabled":true,"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/ebookfriendly.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/148602"}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/ebookfriendly.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/ebookfriendly.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/ebookfriendly.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/9"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/ebookfriendly.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=148602"}],"version-history":[{"count":4,"href":"https:\/\/ebookfriendly.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/148602\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":148608,"href":"https:\/\/ebookfriendly.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/148602\/revisions\/148608"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/ebookfriendly.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/148604"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/ebookfriendly.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=148602"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/ebookfriendly.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=148602"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/ebookfriendly.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=148602"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
