In short, I'm looking for recommendations for relatively inexpensive, fairly basic Kindle. I'd like to have the front light, but I don't care about physical page-turn buttons, waterproofing, large screen, etc. Essentially, if I could duplicate the specs of my Kobo Glo HD in a cheap-ish Kindle format, that would be ideal.
The basic Kindle has lower resolution than the Glo HD, but otherwise will do.

If you want the same resolution as the Glo HD, get the Paperwhite:
