Some people cannot read in the dark with the equivalent of a flashlight shining in their eyes without severe discomfort and headaches. If I was going to read in an extremely bright room (the only way having the light turned up this far could ever come close to comfortable to me), I wouldn't need a front light. Thus, I wouldn't have any use for the Paperwhite. My interest in lit e-ink readers is to read at night in the dark. I think you've set up a paradox with your suggestions. What use is a light in this case?
