Yes and No. The kindle does not have an ambient light sensor to change the brightness of the screen like the Apple iPad does. In fact, the Kindle does not have a backlight at all. This is where the "yes" part comes in. Rather than providing light itself, which drains battery very quickly, the Kindle reflects ambient light to allow the user to read the words on the E-Ink display.
