Kellie - Many people find the lack of it being backlit as a problem or fault. But the whole purpose of the e-ink technology is to be less of a strain on the eyes than a laptop/iPad/computer. Also, it is no different than reading a regular book at night. One needs light to read.
Also, I find the e-ink much easier to read outdoors during the day than a backlit computer screen.

My and worth as much.
