Kindles don’t use a backlight. They are semi front illuminated, more like shining a light on your book. The light can also be turned off

- ComputerGuru 7y agoYes, a much better version of the “light” in those classic “indestructible” Casio watches.
- thaumasiotes 7y agoI still find the unlit or separate-booklight-lit grey kindle to be a lot easier to read than a self-lit white kindle. And while a current kindle's light can be turned off, you control the light through the touchscreen interface, so if you have the light off and it's dark, you have no hope of turning it on, so you have to just always leave it on. It's a really stupid system.
