What do you mean by "reduced longevity of it"? How would a front lit display reduce the life of a Kindle? From what I understand, the front light (at least in terms of the Nook) is actually a separate element. So, if your front light were to die on you, your reader would become effectively a normal ereader. Has there been a rumour of a Kindle with glow being more fragile? If that were the case, then it would be a result of value engineering and I would suspect that it would apply to all products they produce at the same time, not specifically just the front light Kindle.
