Also, I find the e-ink much easier to read outdoors during the day than a backlit computer screen.

I'm not saying it is not a good thing, Steve. I'm perfectly happy with the Kindle.

The other great thing is that we don't need to worry about glare as much with e-ink
I bought a KoBo for $70 and it's exactly what I needed for reading books and nothing else. I've got an android phone that I upgrade every 2 years that can do everything else. I would love the back lighting option but I can live with having a $10 book light and $70 eReader.
