      It's in the font menu at the top. Just tap the edge of the page near the top, the A icon, and then toggle it off.

    Nice, I look forward to trying out Night Light. Any chance of able to fully customise font colour and background? Also being able to sort books by series and series order would be very much appreciated.

      It's not an app, it's an additional feature of the Google Play Books app.

      From the article "update your Google Play Books app to the latest version then open a book and turn on the Night Light mode option (you’ll see a pop up in the app)."

    Can you publish the spectrum actually emitted through the filter? How much of the blue spike is going to be filtered out by this setting?

    I am happy to see that someone is finally paying attention to issues related to display screen lighting! I have tried so many times - unsuccessfully - over the last 7 or 8 years to get someone's attention at Google.

    But, this app doesn't use all available knowledge.

    A much better option for reading near bedtime while not supressing the melatonin release you need for good sleep cycle maintenance is to simply have light characters on a dark background! (yes, INTENSE blue light from the sun for example, does stress the macula; and yes, the supression of melatonin is a bit stronger with blue wavelengths; but it is the SUMMED effect of display screen light that matters, so it is far more important to darken the BACKGROUND a lot (it occupies most of the screen area), and leave bright easy to read characters that lessen eyestrain... and the level of blue light is too low to damage the macula)

    Light characters on a dark background ...now that hits the spot!

    This pertains to Google's home page:

    I use a dark screen with light characters when reading before going to sleep to keep from suppressing my brain's timely release of melatonin. I've learned that when I'm exposed to bright light just before going to sleep at my normal time, I feel like crap if I have to wake up at the normal time, and then it's hard to get to sleep the next day at the normal time!

    It is well known that bright light before your normal sleep time PUSHES BACK your normal sleep cycle so that you don't feel ready to wake up when the alarm goes off (if you even need an alarm clock, a retarded circadian sleep rythym is the probable cause! It is normal to wake up refreshed within a few minutes of the same time each day if your rythyms are in sync.)

    Well, if you have to do a search at night on Google with your background set to a dark color, you encounter an immediate problem: your Google search page doesn't backlight the search term field, but leaves it the same as your deliberately chosen dark background. This means that the dark characters which get typed into the search field are virtually invisible. You can't see what you're typing!

    The obvious solution would be to force a white or light background in the search field so that the dark characters you type become visible.

    An even better solution would be to make the color of typed characters white or the inverse of your dark background.

    That would be FANTASTIC!

    Would you call the selection of such software by service providers Circadian Courtesy?

    This is great. Unlike F.lux, it is available for both Android and iOS. But does it only used on Google play books? Maybe you guys can refer to more blue light blocking apps: http://www.taimeopt.com/top-blue-light-filter-apps-help-sleep-better/

    I've been trying various apps to achieve this. But all of them seem to have the same problem. I am using a phone with an OLED display, precisely in order to be able to read with a pure black background in bed. On OLED, black really gives off no light. But the problem is that when a program adds a filter on top of the screen, pure black pixels - those that have r,g,b=0,0,0 get a tint. The result is that the black background is not black any more, and now gives off light.
    I think this has something to do with how the filter is implemented in android. I'd expect it to be implemented as a multiplier for the colors, so r * a1,g * a2,b * a3. But that is not what is happening. So sadly, I haven't found a single screen filter that works well with OLED.
    And, sadly, kindle also doesn't listen to comments, and hasn't yet implemented a yellow on black or orange on black text....

    Again another +1 for this to be a built in platform wide facility. It's a bit of a shock to the eyes after coming out of books to be blasdted by the sudden brightness of the home screen even if your home screen is predominantly black. Indeed wouldn't it be nice on laptops too.
