How is it for reading ?

Absolutely terrible quality. If you're looking for cheap, you found the right product. If you want a quality headlamp that will last and will suit for reading, this is not it.

I haven't used it for reading but don't see why that would be a problem. I use it for up close carpentry work, etc. My favorite feature, though, is it's focused light for distance outside.

No - it doesn't work very long - I had it less than 3 months and barely used it when it completely stopped working. When it did work, it didn't work well for reading.

i like it. i started with the original one and worked my way to this one. I mostly read on it and love the lighting and font settings for it. you can downlaod from the libary. You can purchase books from other sites. I do use the internet on it and pay bills on it to. It does what i need it to do.

Hi. I don't know what kind of reading your referencing. I also don't know what your looking for. For example. Are you vision impaired? Do you need help? As far as normal day activities and use, it works perfectly for reading. You can make text bigger and smaller if needed. But it is fantastic. The settings are easy to use and the quality is perfect.

It does for reading mostly. It does have flash but it does not work all the time. Also browser will crash very often due to memery limitations.

Yes, but the angle it creates is not that great for reading. Also, your stomach moves as you breathe, which make reading a little more challenging.

Yes. I've had absolutely no problem reading it. I've been extremely pleased with it.

Yes and no. I have used it as "instant read" and most of the time it worked. I did run into a couple times however when after the first reading I had to turn it off then back on to get a reading. Don't know why. It will give a good reading almost immediately. If all your looking for is instant read a better option maybe something like the Oxo, or another, dedicated instant read. It cannot be put in the oven though, not made for that. I have and use both.

Yes, I use it to read books all the time. One of the books I use it for is probably 1200 pages

It's real big display. You will have no problem reading it. That's a reason I bought it too is because of big display. Hope that helps you

Its very easy to read from no problems there. What I do find is that the plastic sticks to my touch screen and sometimes moves my placement in the book, oe the font size. However it did not stop me from buying another one for my mother. I love it.

This is the most basic reader, I use it to download books from my local library.You can change the font size and it has a dictionary. It is good for me but if youwant lights and whistles, this is NOT the one.

It IS bright enough to read by. HOWEVER; I would think the color wouldn't be great for reading. It may make the pages look washed out.

You could read under it but it's not as bright as it should be for reading extensively. I think it's more suited for living room ambience.

I wear reading glasses and prefer well-lit areas when reading; the display was easy for me to read. Enjoy!!
