Yes, eventually, but they have an extremely long life - about 7 times longer than compact flourescents, and up to 50 times longer than incandescents. The LED "bulb" should last for years and years.
And they draw fairly little power. Given the increased battery life as advertised by Amazon, I assume the new Kindle should see a pretty minor hit on battery life from the light. Of course, who knows in the real world!
