The new Sony won't have backlight as eink doesn't allow for backlighting. So no, the Kindle won't have backlighting as well. But as for the glow light, given what I've read on how easily it can scratch, would you really want it scratched? I like the light cover that Sony sells. Works very well (IMHO). One other issue you get with the glowlight is that it uses power from the nook. Thus, the more you read in low light or no light, the less time you have to read before you need to charge. Sony has a light on the 700 and when in use, the battery life wasn't wonderful.
