I used a light before I bought my first Paperwhite . I read mostly at night so I loved seeing the e ink devices with a built in light. This is my 4th Kindle with a light. PW1, PW3, Voyage and now Oasis 2. They all are great but this is the first Kindle I've had to think about the battery. I think that surprised a lot of people. Who bought one at first, and now know that they have to conserve on the Oasis 2. Not just the light but also Wifi and audio.
I guess I'm just going to use the battery up faster to read comfortably on a higher light level. I already plan to trade it back to Amazon in a couple years. So I guess it really doesn't matter at this point. Normally I keep my devices longer. I'll wait and see what they come out with next. Maybe a larger battery next time.
