My first Kindle I got was a paperwhite version, books and audio only, that I received from a consumer-testing product site. For FREE! When I got it, it was a whole new world for me and reading and listening to audio books. When the Fire tablets came out, I bought one for the kids and one for myself. Now, our house seems littered with them because we use Kindles so much, from reading and listening to audio books, to streaming Amazon Prime Video and Netflix and Disney+. As expected with Prime Day, there’s a sale on Kindles right now.

Bargain Sleuth Book Reviews 
I have that same Kindle Paperwhite and the front light is a life saver. My eyes are extremely light-sensitive and I get migraines easily if I spend much time reading on a back-lit screen, but the front-lit ones are fine!

Glad to hear it. These old eyes are in need of bifocals, for one things, and are becoming more sensitive to backlight. There is a blue light option on the Fires that kicks in if I’m reading late at night.

Oh wow! I have the Paperwhite without the light, but now I kind of wish I had the one with the light. I worried about the light because my eyes are sensitive after working at the computer all day, but I bought my mom the Kindle with the light and it’s a kind of light that’s not screen-like so it feels alright.

The advances they’ve made with the paperwhite since I had the first version all those years ago are overwhelming. They’ve really made it hard to resist!
