  • My wife complains that the lack of a backlight on her ancient kindle is the primary reason she no longer reads, so I'd like to get her a new one for mothers day.

    The current basic kindle has a built-in 4 LED backlight, while the current paperwhite has a 17 LED backlight with adjustable warm light. How much better is this warm backlight on the paperwhite and is it worth the additional £45?

  • I think it's better. I couldn't quantify how much but given I read my Kindle every day in the dark I'd pay it (although there are a lot of deals that would probably make it less, you might even get trade in value on that ancient kindle).

    If it's just the occasional read in the dark I'm not so sure.
