If the light is not enough was my old Kindle unusable for me. Especially in age-related low vision. But why buy a new Kindle? Property me instead a leather cover with LED lamp wished for Christmas that has met all expectations. The shell made of high quality, grained leather in good workmanship lies comfortably in your hand like a book. Much better handling than the "naked" Kindle. The lighting is adequate for the whole page, even if the battery capacity is thereby reduced. Now I can read in bed at night without disturbing my partner.
