Re: Kindle question and reading in the dark
eInk readers are very similar to real books. No backlighting, but that's what makes them so appealing to a lot of people. The backlighting is what bothers most people's eyes.

Definitely. If it was backlit it would be like reading off a computer screen which is definitely not good to do for an extended period of time... unless you are on LIF.

So true! Which is why I went with the Kindle in the first place! Just didnt even think about reading in the dark.
Ok no problem just wasnt sure if I was missing things.

Re: Kindle question and reading in the dark
The only time I really get the chance to read is at night in bed, DH goes to sleep and the lights are out. I have a kindle cover with a light and its great!
