This is not a fault of the 500/505/Gen3/v3/iLiad/STAReBOOK/NUUT. It's the way eink is. eink does not allow light to pass through so there is no way to have back lighting. So as of this moment, there are no commercially available eink readers that are lit. You'll need an external light source of your choosing.
