The Sony PRS-900 had a too bright led. We don't need e-ink that looks lit like a christmas tree! Although color leds would be nice, from practical perspective, an e-ink device with 0.5W worth of backlight is more than enough to read in dark places, and make e-ink universally usable!
You're inventing a new technology then... e-ink is reflective, there are no backlights for e-ink... the e-ink readers with lighting are edge lit from in front of the screen not the rear...
