  • A: Hi Rebecca! The light on the Kindle Paperwhite is actually a front light, and you can definitely turn it off! Not only can you turn the light off, you can adjust the intensity and hue in order to find your perfect reading experience! I usually only use the light on mine if I'm reading at night so I don't need to find the right angle to read via a lamp, otherwise I tend to leave it off to get a more book like experience. I hope that helps, have a great rest of your day!

Q: Can you preview books on kindle before you purchase the book. I have an old kindle and that service is not working any more.

submitted by Sheri - 1 year ago
  • A: Hi Sheri, thank you for your question. The Amazon Kindle Paperwhite comes with a feature called Look Inside The Book, which allows you to preview a limited number of pages of books. This means you can sample books before you purchase. Samples for print books allow you to search for words in the book to confirm that the book is just what they're looking for. Our agreements with publishers and copyright holders currently limit how much of the book is available for preview. Pages, or parts of pages, will be omitted due to copyright restrictions. Hopefully this helps. Have a wonderful day!
