How often do you read in the dark? It’s fairly common for people to be in lit spaces during their waking hours.
*aren’t
Is there an updated one coming soon or is it fairly recent? I read a lot and am thinking about buying a kindle, but wouldn’t want to if a new model will be arriving within the next year (books are that bad).Also, I wish they had Tim Powers’ novels on it. Please go to amazon and request!
What does the Kindle have that the new nook doesn’t?
the reason for no back lighting is that reading in the dark is not good for eyes.
Yep, and their entire purpose for removing the backlight was to take away the strain for your eyes.
Nothing to do with power consumption?
It’s not a downside! It’s just like a book and that’s the point. If it did have back lighting, that would mean that it would be harder to read.
True, but that really limits where you read. If you were in the car at night you couldn’t read.It would be great if they enabled you to turn on and off the backlight, or adjust it.But it’s a matter of personal opinion
I still want one xD
The male reading voice sounds much better. Anyway, I really want this, but it’s so expensive!
