Amazon's New Kindles Face Light Leak Complaints

Customers are experiencing light leaks on the new Kindles, especially when using dark mode. The issue becomes more noticeable when the device is in a dark environment with high brightness settings. Reddit users have shared images showing visible LED strips and shadows around the screen edges. The problem affects both plastic and aluminum models in all colors. Some users suggest the glow might be a side effect of the front lighting and flush screen design, but others claim it indicates a manufacturing defect. Good e-Reader confirmed Amazon is aware of the issue and has acknowledged a potential manufacturing problem in the current batch. Amazon spokesperson Katie Condon stated that the glow is a result of specific conditions and can be reduced by lowering the front light. The company has not yet released a fix or recall announcement.
