Some Kindle e-readers have a cool feature called Warm Light, which lets you change the temperature of your screen. If your device supports it, then you can quickly open it or set a schedule and forget about it.
What Is Warm Light?
Warm light is a light that makes the Kindle e-book reader appear yellow (pale yellow), depending on the brightness. Research from the American Journal of Public Health has shown that using warm light is more beneficial for the eyes, making the overall reading experience more relaxed.
Similarly, many studies, including one by the Sleep Foundation, have shown that blue light emitted by using a device can make it difficult for you to fall asleep at night. If you have trouble falling asleep after reading at night, it’s not because the book says that good warm light can help you sleep better and faster.
What Kindle eReaders Support Warm Light?
You need to note that not all Kindle models support warm light. If you want to use this feature, you’ll need to at least use the Kindle Oasis 3 released in 2019, or the 11th-generation Kindle Paperwhite released by Amazon in 2021.
How to use Warm Light on Kindle
Adjusting the warm light on your Kindle e-reader is easy, all you need to do is follow these steps.
1. If you’re on your Kindle home screen, tap the down arrow located at the top of your screen. If you’re reading a book, tap the top of your screen and tap the down arrow.

If needed, you can have your Kindle turn warm light on and off at specific times of the day.
