Question for those with a Kindle

I am thinking about getting a Kindle and have a question.  Can I read in the dark?  Meaning, if I am laying in bed but don't want to have my lamp on, can I still see the pages?  Or do I have to get a little book light?  I can't seem to figure this out on Amazon.com.  TIA!

    i have the nook and ipad, but no kindle...BUT i don't think they have them. you can go to target and check them out as they now sell them. might be a nice way to see what you're getting before you actually buy.

    No, you wouldn't be able to see it without a light.  I have the book cover with a light (this one) and it is well worth the money.  I use the light all the time, even when I'm just reading on the couch.  I love my Kindle!

    I'm not sure what phone you have but I have a droid and it comes with a kindle feature on it so basically i got a free kindle with my phone... maybe thats a possibility.Most of my friends got a Nook I think though.  I know there is a reason that my BF just choose the Nook over the Kindle but I can't remember...something about not being able to read library books on the kindle. 

    I guess what I'm saying is get a droid, use the kindle feature and then you can also download the app to read free library books on it too. 

    For my phone/kindle I can read in the dark... I always read in bed and hate having a light on so my phone works perfectly.

    It depends.  The Kindle is NOT backlit, instead if you purchase the Kindle cover to go with it (which you will want to protect your Kindle anyway) it has a little light in the corner of the cover that lights up when you pull it out all of the way and your Kindle is docked into the cover.  This provides plenty of light to read by without distrubing anyone around you.  This is the main reason DH bought me one of these, he was tired of trying to go to bed with the lamp on. :-)
