Reading in dim/no light conditions

I want to know if any reader has an optional backlit or edge lighting (I mean, light from the inside edges of the device) so that we can read them in any condition - be it daylight or no light.

I just bought Archos 705 portable media player and want to read books (not ebooks. I am not interested in them.). I have books in jpg format and some other books in html format and some more in pdf. I can convert office docs into pdf or html and read them in Archos 705. I can read html pages online or offline in it. I have purchased an extra battery also. So for all my needs this is enough.

Having said all this, I want to explore e ink reader options, if there are any since to my knowledge they have the following advantages:
1. More close to paper experience.
2. No strain on eyes.
3. Longer battery life
4. Light weight.
5. Bigger display. (some are above 7 inches)

Do you know if there are any products that cater to my needs.

Thanks
Sudhakar
