Second that. I hate clip-on lights with a passion.
And I hate reading in complete darkness too, if I can avoid it. I like to have at least *some* ambient light, and then use the Kindle PW to boost the light level to a setting at which the Kindle looks just like a well lit page.
If I read in absolute darkness, there is no difference between using a (small) tablet at lower settings, or the Kindle PW; at least for me.

Indeed, but the front light can add some light if you're just a bit short of it. And with my bad eyesight, I'm ALWAYS short of light to read by, if I'm not going to sit in very specific well lit spots.
Using the Kindle, I can read in a sandwich bar, while waiting an hour for my next train; and not only read in that bar, but I can even sit where I want. With the Touch, I would have needed to sit beside the window, or directly under or next to a lamp. With the PW, I can sit wherever I please (and don't need to bring no stinkin' clip-on light to do it either
)
