Is there blue light for it? I read before bed, but I don't like reading from a device because I can't fall asleep after reading from a screen. I know it doesn't have a bright light, but is there blue ligh?

Not sure what you mean by "blue light" -- are you talking about the color temperature?

The light on a Kindle Paperwhite is a frontlight, not a backlight. That means, unlike an iPad/iPhone/computer screen, the light is not coming from behind the screen towards your eyes. The light is reflected from the bezel onto the front of the e-ink display.

I read my Kindle Paperwhite at night before sleep all the time, and it doesn't interfere with my ability to sleep like my iPhone/Mac laptop do. I find it's better than turning a lamp on and reading a paper book by lamplight.

I really like the idea of paper books so I held off from getting a Kindle for a long time, but I couldn't be more happy with my purchase now.

I used to buy a lot of books and by the time they'd come in, I'd already lost interest and just put them on the shelf for another time. Now I can immediately download and read a book while I still am interested in it. Kindle books also often cost less than their paper counterpart, and if you're a less scrupulous individual, there are tons of pirate ebooks out there.

And when you have to run out and want to bring a book, you no longer have to worry about making a decision on what to grab. The Kindle has space for tons of stuff on it.

Not to mention it fits on your hands so much easier and is lighter than a paper book. It's comfortable to use in many settings.

So yeah, I guess you could say I don't miss paper books.
