Well, yes and no.. I do use the backlight on my Kindle if it's dark, but this changes how it looks. I have a Paperwhite Kindle. With the backlight on it's more like reading on LCD, though not as bad. The Kindle looks much nicer if I can use a bedside lamp instead of the backlight, just as I would with a paper book.
- nottorp 2y agoYou still can't turn off the light on a Kindle completely can you? Always felt like a waste of battery on a beach...
- Tor3 2y agoThere's a tiny amount of light, yes. I don't know why Amazon made it that way. It's not really visible.. not to me, at least. But it's probably one reason the battery is slowly drained, over weeks, even if not in use.
- nottorp 2y agoIt does turn off when you're not using the kindle. But you can't turn it completely off while reading. I suppose the use case is picking up the kindle at night in a dark room while you disabled the light when you were reading outside during the day.
