I would not consider getting a non-lit ereader ever again. Since I have the PW, I couldn't see myself going back to reading with one that was not frontlit. I love Sony's, but won't upgrade to a T2 because it does not come with a light. The light on the PW is very different from either a cover with a built-in light or a book light. It just makes the screen so much easier to read. My light is on at all times as it makes the reading experience so much better. I am hoping that Sony does come out with a frontlit model this year, but in the meantime, my PW is all the reader that I need.
