If I have to get the eye-strain, then I don't see a point in using eink.
I do use a cover with light on both my PRS350 and PRS950. But that light is reflected and it doesn't seem to bother me as much.
I guess I would have to try this before expressing an opinion. Seems like a neat idea.

I obviously don't know the for-sure answer to this, but it doesn't appear that this would be a problem. The layer goes over the eink layer, from what I saw. So it isn't necessarily "back-lit." It also describes the light as a "glow."
I don't know how it would look in reality. And of course, that's the only true test. But it appears that this is something that could be worked around.
