Any one selling a kindle with a built in light?

Didn't know you could get one with a built in light

I thought you had to get the clip on light to go with it

you have to buy a cover that has a light built into it

Deniz. Mine has a clip on light but must say I have never had the need to use it. Just had a look at the latest ones on Amazon no light mentioned on them or the cases. 7" Kindle Fire £129. 7" Kindle Fire HD £159 the basic one £69. The HD one sounds great so I might update before my hols.

I know there is one on Amazon but I need someone to bring it out if there is one for sale here its less hassle. I thought it would be good in a power cut.

Nodody is buying kindles anymore,get a 7 inch tablet,you can use as a kindle and a million things more.

Apparently, the Kindle has a more user friendly screen than your normal tablet because it is designed for constant reading, not that I'm an expert or anything

...And which you can't read in bright sunlight...

As before just want one to read with when there is a power cut and when I have forgotten to get some books.

Go to mr £ they have a clip on light which runs on watch batteries, it is a little large but not over the top.
I used one on our trip to Turkey on the boat this year.

karmels. Deniz was asking if there was a Kindle for sale, I think she would need that first before she gets a light.

Thanks mel probably a cheaper idea!

Sorry Deniz, I did't read your post correctly.

The Kindle fire is the only kindle that has a built in light and can be read in sunlight.

Hi Deniz 1

The Kindle fire is the only kindle that has a built in light and can be read in sunlight.

I have the basic Kindle and I can read it in bright sunlight no problem, used it in NC.

I thought that the Kindle Fire had a (backlit) LCD screen, which would make it difficult, if not impossible to read in direct bright sunlight.

The standard Kindle uses e-ink which is reflective. like paper, so that the stronger the ambient lighting, the easier it is to read - but does need some form of illumination - you can't read it in the dark

Anyone know if you can buy a kindle here, or has anyone ordered from Amazon and had one safely delivered here.

I don't think you can get one sent here, to use it you need to register it to a UK address, or that was what I was led to believe and my wife couldn't use hers until it was registered to a UK address
But someone with more knowledge than me may have a different answer

How do the Germans here use Kindles then?

There will be a German version that will download german books, but if you want English worded books you need an English version and , as far as I am aware you need to register it to a UK address.
I assumed that as we were conversing in English and the poster appeared to be English speaking that was their requirement
We know what assumed makes
I assume (only an assuption though!) there is a Turkish one as well but my Turkish isn't good enough to read and enjoy a book in that language

Halffull - I assumed that as we were conversing in English and the poster appeared to be English speaking that was their requirement

Your assumption is correct and thankyou for the info

What you want is the new kindle paperwhite - just been launched and has adjustable backlit screen.
