Someone gave me a Kobo model N647 can it be read in the dark?

I do not think it would be able to be read in the dark. You would need some light source. The screen does not appear to light up, it appears to reflect.

I gave the unit away as a gift, but I believe it was backlit. I tried it before I gave it away. The person I gave it to loves it,by the way.

I downloaded the different readers--I feel the same way. Getting used to reading on the little screen, well, it is nice to read in the dark with the lights off. I am now trying to get used to reading with the scroll function (it goes too slow, and then, when I want to reread a passage, it still takes some thought on how to stop the scrolling).

you would have to look directly at it to see it. you could buy a blackout cramra

Yes. The LCD readout is backlit. When you press any button it lights for approximately 5 seconds.

Yes you can see the display in the dark. The back light goes out after a couple of minutes. Don't know about the clock, having 24 hr settings

No. The clock numbers are black on a silver screen. It is not visible in the dark

Yes, there is certainly enough red light to read a document in the dark. In fact, the 10 lumens might be a bit too bright for your needs.

Yes. But the buttons are small and you need to learn the locations. I am fair at operating it in the dark.

To the best of my knowledge, it does not have that feature. It is black characters on a green background. I shut off the light in my den and couldn't see anything. Sorry!

The temperature display is an LCD only so it will not light up for reading in the dark, but the reading remains on the display long enough to go into another room where there is light.

Yes you can read it day or night. It emits a green light as do the clocks on my microwave, and stove.

Yes, but it's NOT backlit. So you'll need some light shining on the face of the radio to read the display.

Yes I believe you could. I can read small print on a box 20 feet away in our very dark garage.

You can read in an office environment but not necessarily outside.It gets about as dark as a a glowing poster after 20 minutes of light.

I'm pretty sure you can. When I first was setting mine up I came across a mode of white light only programs.

Sorry it took so long to answer - my daughter has it and she says 'no' she had to turn on the light to read it. It works well otherwise! Very FAST!
