Answering the original questions:

No ePaper display is ever likely to have a "backlight" as by the very definition, these displays are designed to be opaque. They could have an illuminated display though (like pre-digital watches had). But for now, just use a little usb led book light.

The Irex DR1000 series ready are the first ever to fully and correctly display almost any PDF without modification. I say "almost" because I have noticed some slight distortion of musical notation when I display unmodified sheet music, but this it totally resolved by running the PDF through PDFCropper.

FBreader, an open source reader that supports CHM and other formats has been ported to the Dr1000 and works well. The author reported the port as "very easy".
