I won't buy e-ink because it doesn't have a backlight. I've said it elsewhere on this forum. There are plenty of us that feel this way, including the writer over at Teleread. I read at night, often in bed, and the lamp was always an annoyance for my wife. With my ebookwise or dt375 tablet, I have no problem reading at night. Plus, the battery is a non-issue for me. The ebookwise lasts pretty darn long. Like 1 and 1/2 weeks before I have to recharge. The dt375 is more of a hog, I have to charge it every other day or sometimes every day depending on how much I read or surf the web on it.
I want a more modern reading device with many of the features you folks are getting in your e-ink devices, except I want it with a backlight. I don't want to attach a light to it because the technology is there to have what I want. If I can't have that I'll just use my old ebookwise or dt375 until I can't buy them anymore. Also, please don't ask me what I did before I had my ebook reader - my wife suffered many years with my lamp and I don't see the need to go back to that, much like you don't want to go back to chugging a pile of books around or reading off a paper book. That's what this site is about right? Sometimes I feel as if the people here want to shove e-ink down our throats and don't want to listen to those of us who want an alternate device.
