It really is. I baught a second one a few years after they stopped making them. So I’ve got a grey one and a black one. I love i can hold them like a book and the svreen doesn’t move. Plus no backlight means it’s easy on yhe eyes.
Ill be honest i just read in the light. Or use a small 50c book light. Its a decade old ebook reader. It works and still lasts about a week with a very old battery.
There are snap-on small lights that would illuminate the Kindle screen, rather than glow in your eyes. People used to read books too without a backlight through various ways.
True, I have 3 book lights scrambled at different rooms in my home, and still managed to forget all of them for a recent trip.
But the only more modern reader I’ve used (Onyx boox, white backlight) did its job at night, but still felt a bit straining for my eyes. Maybe it gets better with a yellow-ish or orange backlight, these feel better for me on the clip-on lights, but I haven’t tried one for backlight.
I think i have that model. Fantastic ebook reader if so.
Do you really read with that huge font size? Doesn’t it annoy you to flip pages every 10 seconds?
One of the best things about ebook readers is once you get old, you can still read your favorite books!

No backlight? Can’t use it in the dark

Yeah but thats additional item you need to have with you.
Not sure what you mean by no backlight is easy for the eyes. Is it really bad?
EDIT: not you, but the person i replied to
