We have a Macbook, used principally by my wife, and currently she is studying an eBook. Annoyingly the Macbook screen darkens after a short interval of inactivity, while reading, prior to the eventual onset of sleep as set in Energy Saver. I have not been able to find any way to stop or lengthen this. I realise it is there for a very good battery conservation reason but would like to circumvent it temporarily.
Any suggestions please?

Hi Severin,

Have you unchecked in System Prefs > Energy Saver "Automatically reduce brightness before display goes to sleep"?

Cheers,
Ronni
