Researchers have long said that the blue light emitted from electronic devices such as smartphones, tablets and monitors can affect people’s ability to get to sleep, especially when they are used in the evening and late at night. There are some solutions that remove this blue spectrum light, such as the Drift TV box from Saffron, but now Google’s Play Books app has introduced a feature that does the same thing. The new light filter, called ‘night light,’ should make perusing late night novels easier on readers' eyes, as well as allowing them to get a better night’s sleep. It uses hues of amber based on natural sunlight to filter the blue spectrum light, thereby reducing eye strain. You can turn the night light mode on or off in the same section as the other visual adjustments. When activated, the screen will slowly remove the blue light as the evening wears on, becoming a warmer amber color as time passes.

And, while I love using it for some things — playing music and podcasts, setting timers, and re-ordering items from Amazon — I’ve come to realize that, like Apple’s Siri and all other virtual assistants, its Alexa voice-driven artificial intelligence system disappoints a lot.
