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.

A photon is a photon. Your eye doesn't "care" whether it's emitted by the screen, or reflected from it. A light-emitting screen which emits the same level of light as the ambient light-level of the room, is absolutely indistinguishable from a screen which operates via reflected light, as far as your eye is concerned. Anyone who claims otherwise really has no understanding of elementary physics
