This article is poorly titled. Disappointing since the BBC is capable of better journalism than this. They should be specific that it is backlit LCD screens (especially LED backlights since their spectrum is predominantly in the blue range which simulates morning) rather than what is typically meant when someone says E-readers, ie: readers that use E-Ink panels which are not backlit and thus rely on ambient light.

I agree that BBC is capable of better journalism. This resonates with the article 'Why so many health articles are junk' posted 5 days ago on HN. https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=8764871

We added "backlit" to the title to try to make it less misleading.
