The device itself is crafted from recycled aluminum, a clear testament to its commitment to eco-friendliness. The front-lit display and colour temperature system, a blend of white and amber LED lights, are powered by a total of 35 LED lights, the highest number ever seen on a Kindle, ensuring an exceptional reading experience with its superior illumination.
