I think he means the flicker of backlight.
Though the newer screens have no flicker. The old LCD screens used mini versions of tube lights, the newer use LEDs, which operate at a 'constant' DC voltage.

A small led lamp like yours will also be nice, something that is powered by the mini USB port on the device might actually work on almost all readers.
However, if they created the e-ink device with UV reflective pigment, and added a blacklight, you'd probably have the best effect for reading at night!
Blacklight does not reflect well on dark colors, and the white background would stand out more!
I wonder if there's research been done in this field?
My Sony PRS-505's screen does not reflect UV/black light very well.
