Thx everyone.

If you hit the far right 'Options' button while reading, you can select to 'Adjust View'. There are a lot of options, but don't expect to be able to lighten the background, since the eInk screen display isn't back-lit.
I fiddled around a little with these settings, and ended up putting them right back to the 'Original' default setting.
Sony's lighted case is nice, but it is a little expensive, and a bit bulky (it makes the reader's case about an 3 or 4 centimeters wider than the cover without the built in light).
I find that I usually don't need a booklight to read (switching to a larger font lets me read, even in fairly dim light) and didn't want all that extra bulk, so I went with a more compact case with a add-on booklight for those rare occasions where one is needed.
Since you also already have a case, you might just want to look at an inexpensive addon booklight.
Something like the little
'mighty bright' book light.
- or if you want something even smaller . . .
check out the little
might bright travel version that works with only a single aaa battery.
There are even cheaper lights available, but most of the really cheep ones either use expensive coin batteries that have lousy battery life, or are bigger and more awkward because they use 3 aaa batteries at a time.
I would also avoid the mighty bright 2 light which seems to be a cost reduced (for them not for you) version that uses 3 batteries like the cheapy lights, but actually sells for MORE money.
