It's not 'backlight' for that exact reason. Kindle Paperwhite's are "front-lit." They have LED in the bezels that refract the light on layer of glass just above the e-ink screen (think a fiber-optic cable, but flattened out into a think sheet of glass). There are patterns on that glass that direct the light downward onto the e-ink screen across the entire width of it, giving a fairly even lighting effect that reflects back up, the same as your indirect lighting does (except probably more evenly). It also doesn't contain much blue light, which is the type that causes eye strain in the first place.

So, do whatever you like, but eye-strain on a kindle paperwhite simply isn't a thing. It's really well designed in that regard.

All I wanted from the (current) Kindle was warm lighting, USB C, and physical buttons.

I got none of them, so I'm still on the previous generation...

You paid full price for an Amazon product 3 days before Prime Day? That's a Slickdeals Court Martial offense.

I believe you must be a Prime member to order using Alexa.

The should add warm lighting to these. Oasis had it but it's far too overpriced for a once in awhile reader.

You're not gonna get physical buttons, but the other two are possible.

Looks like you don't get the 3 months free kindle unlimited. Think this will be part of prime day?
