AAAHHHHHHH! Slaps palm to forehead…. Generation issue!!

I have watched the younger generations play their handheld video games in the dark. Never having seen an e-book reader in person, I simple assumed that I would be able to read the handheld e-book in the car at night while my husband drives or while I’m in bed with the lights off. Now I find out it does not have its own lighting system. Oh dear! Oh dear!
Which is where a Lightwedge type of front-lighting system would make sense. Just have it slip onto the case and position over the screen...
