Yes, it was just an exaggerated response to the comment about the Kobo Aura 2 being "last year's model." The basic Kindle has 8 year old screen tech -- not quite a full decade old. I believe the first front light was ten years ago, but they didn't become a regular thing until 2012's Nook. I'm a little surprised Kindle didn't get its screen bumped up to 2013.
