Read all about it! The latest Kindle with a built-in front light is currently available with a headline-stealing £20 discount in Amazon’s Black Friday sale.
The deal, which takes the device down to £49.99, makes it a tempting upgrade for existing Kindle owners, and a great introduction for newbies to the space-saving world of ebooks.
Why we love it
One of the great things about ebook readers is that their e-ink screens are so easy to read in bright light.
While you can read an ebook using a Kindle app on your smartphone, this becomes a challenge when out and about because the screen is so reflective.
The e-ink screens used by dedicated readers are different. They don’t require a backlight and so offer a more paper-like experience. They’re perfect for use outdoors in direct sunlight, making them a firm favourite for holiday makers (saving space and weight in your hand luggage).
What sets this one apart
The catch is they’re equally impossible to read at night without some additional light, which is why Amazon has now added built-in illumination to its entire Kindle line-up.
This new edition features an adjustable quartet of LEDs, so you can be a bookworm any time you choose.
With a sharp (167ppi) 6-inch screen, it offers all the usual Kindle niceties, including adjustable text (so you can find the most comfortable font size), annotations and word definitions.
This Kindle also works with Audible spoken word books. Just pair your Kindle with a pair of Bluetooth headphones or a wireless speaker (like an Amazon Echo), and let the book play.
Note that this is the With Ads Kindle edition, which means the lock screen will display sponsored content.
What the reviews say
81% of the 21,000 reviews left by book lovers have given this Kindle with built-in light a five star rating. Word on the street is clearly great!
“This new "basic" Kindle is actually not so basic anymore. A significant upgrade is that it now has a built in front light thanks to the inclusion of 4 LEDs which provide a nice even light across the screen - much better than the first front-lit screens that Amazon produced on the original Paperwhite.”
“The light is a massive win for me! The battery life has been great too. I’ve had this a week and put on flight mode when not downloading and the battery is at 63% after using every evening.”
“If you’re considering buying your first Kindle or upgrading to a newer model, definitely consider the All-New Kindle.”
“Upgraded from my 2nd gen Kindle and find this so easy to use. the backlight is perfect. Very lightweight and comfortable to use.”
“For a relative with failing eyesight, it really was a godsend.”
