The Kobo Glo (or the Kindle Paperwhite or the Nook Glowlight) is not backlit.

ok, but what about practice..i've seen somewhere here that someone given up of kobo glo because level of brightness was to much, even on lowest setting...obviously people have problems with eye strain, no matter what seems to be better in theory...
