Amazon's New Kindles Reportedly Suffer from Light Leak Issues
Users on Reddit have reported a light leak issue with Amazon’s latest base-model Kindle e-readers. The problem becomes noticeable in dark mode, where shadows and visible LED strips appear around the screen edges due to the device’s flush bezel design. Both plastic and aluminum versions of the new Kindles are affected across all color options. While some minor glow might be expected from front lighting combined with a flat display, users claim that what they're seeing is more severe than typical manufacturing variance. Good e-Reader has confirmed Amazon is aware of the issue and suspects it stems from a production defect in the current batch. However, when contacted by The Verge for comment, Amazon did not provide an on-the-record statement.
