Question for Kindle users: is it backlit? If it was night time and I wanted to read in a car / room with no lights, could you?

Or do you have to get a "book light" to read it?

OK thanks, all. - JaxSean Nov 26, 14:53
I was going to say yes, but that was a Nook. -- nm - the liioulu with rain Nov 26, 14:48
The classic Kindle is not backlit, which is part of what helps it to be soft on the eyes. -- nm - ty97 Nov 26, 14:47
Not backlit, as far as I know. - kelly Nov 26, 14:46 5
- Did you get a book light? I just went to one of the Kindle pages and saw that one of their accessories tabs is for book lights. -- nm - JaxSean Nov 26, 14:49 4
  - I have a book light for mine. It works fine. -- nm - Kim Pine Nov 26, 15:10 1
    - Might as well just read a book, then. -- nm - Spawn Nov 26, 15:11
  - I didn't, as I dont read in the dark or in cars at night. I'm usually just using it before bed with the lamp on... -- nm - kelly Nov 26, 14:52
  - I don't have a book light, since I never find myself trying to read in the dark. - ty97 Nov 26, 14:51
Fire, yes, other kindles, no. That's my understanding, I could be wrong. -- nm - Beryllium Nov 26, 14:45 3
- I think of the Fire as just being another tablet-like device (we have the gTablet), so I did mean the e-ink versions. -- nm - JaxSean Nov 26, 14:47 1
  - yeah, just like a book but without hundres of pages. Gotta have a light, as far as I know. :) -- nm - Beryllium Nov 26, 14:48
- (Fire is a regular tablet, I believe, whereas the others are e-ink.) -- nm - Beryllium Nov 26, 14:46
