1.read on an lcd
2.or turn on the lights
3.or use a clip on light r a lighted cover.i dont care about weight.

I think you are being narrow minded. The front light on eInk is much better than the backlight on an LCD. And unlike backlighting on LCDs, the front light can be turned off when you don't need it, so you have no drawback, albeit a slight drop in contrast due to the light distribution layer. It is a nice idea, you get the good qualities of eInk, while getting the chance to keep reading when the ambient light is too dim.
