If you can stand having a color screen, try a NOOKcolor (they're very cheap refurbished at around $150 at several deals sites) and if you turn the brightness way down they aren't bad.

There's also the option of a case with a booklight built in.

Unfortunately, that's the best you can do (and there's frankly not much demand for an eInk style screen with a backlight. The battery drain and poorer visibility in sunlight, etc., aren't usually worthwhile unless you're throwing in color or some other benefit).
