can I read in the dark withsimple touch

The only way it is possible to read without light with a simple touch is to have a light , small book likghts that are lightweight are good , that can clip onto your case. The best case I have seen for this is the zipper case by Marware. This holds your Nook Simple Touch and a light can easily be attached on the back or at the center. It comes at a reasonable price from Amazon , and though it says it is for Kindle I find I like to use it for my Simple Touches just for this reason alone. Lights also can be sold by Amazon or try a store such as Barnes & Noble for a good light weight light. The print is easy to see, and clear with this.

Yes. You can. It's a pain. There's a brightness option in the same settings menu where the option to chance the screen color is.

Yes, it does... unfortunately, if you want to see the time in the dark, you must hit the mode button before itlights up. Otherwise, the answer is yes.

It does not have a back light. You will have problems reading it in a dark space unless you use a flashlight.

There is a LED that glows green when the finger reader button is pushed. But there is no light. It's all pretty tactile, your finger goes directly on the reader, and stops against the start button. Then swipe down fairly slowly, and BINGO! the safe opens. With a little practice it can be accomplished in the dark

Yes, you can just set it to light only with no sound. You can also adjust the brightness of the ending light as well.

I tried it in a semi dark room. It is quite difficult to read. There is no back lighting.

Yes it can. Use it while I'm reading in bed. I set the timer even so it dims and turns off to tell me it's bedtime.

I found it easy to read in both bright daylight and at twilight. Since I only use mine when the camera is mounted on a tripod I would be comfortable using it -- with the aid of either a headlamp or an assistant holding a flashlight -- after dark.

absolutely...easy to read at night or daytime. We live in Florida and have no problem reading the display !

No, the screen doesn't light up, and you cannot see it in the dark. I will rephrase, my screen doesn't light up, and I cannot see it in the dark.

I would not read by this light, it would cause too much strain. You could read, but I wouldn't advise it.

You can adjust the color and brightness of the display. In standard mode it's too bright at night. Switch to red or green and it's fine (but hard to read in sunlight).

No, they don't light up, and so the answer is, you don't know what you're pressing when it's dark. So I don't recommend using it in the dark. :-)

You most certainly can read by this light only - as long as it is high enough so that the light shines downward on what you're reading. I'm not sure if it's a healthy way to read but it can be used for reading...

I wouldn't use it for reading unless there really wasn't any other lighting available, camping perhaps. But only in a limited capacity.
