It's not an all or nothing, for me! I have 2 e-ink readers and a Fire, when Amazon makes a lighted e-ink, I might have that one too. But sell my Fire? Never!
I felt the same way when I first purchased my Fire, but I have found that I am using it less and less as a tablet and more as a reader. It sits on my night stand every day and is only turned on when I read at night during the week or on the weekends. I don't use it for movies (I have a TV for that), I don't use it to browse the web when I'm at home (I have an iPad for that), and I don't use it to read on the go (I have a smartphone for that). So I gained the ability to read in the dark and not disturb my wife. That's about it.

Anyway, thanks for all of the feedback. I really hope Amazon releases something soon. If not, I may find myself over at my B&N and picking up the nook with GlowLight.
