My question is mainly directed toward members who now own a front-lit e-ink reader, but please feel free to jump in if you do not meet this qualification.

Would you ever buy another e-ink device that does not have this front-lit capability?


Don
I bought a PaperWhite for my wife for her birthday. She loves it. It looks great. No complaints whatsoever.

So would I buy a non-front-lit e-ink device? Sure. Why? Price/functionality. If there was a $20 e-ink device, I'd consider it. If there was a 10" or larger non-lit device. I'd get it.
