According to this article, it is not going to happen anytime soon. This is an interview with Stephanie Lang, Division Manager of the IT Division at Sony France at the Salon du Livre 2013 in Paris (it is a huge Book Fair for the francophone community). She basically says that Sony was a precursor with its lighted e-reader PRS-700 in 2008, it did not sell well and new studies (I'd love to know which ones, since I personally do not believe those results) have shown that integrated lighting is a function that is appreciated "from time to time, but not a determinant criteria" in the choice of a reader.
As I said, I believe they are wrong and hope they will change their mind, but according to Ms Lang it does not look like Sony will bring out a lighted e-reader anytime soon.

Yes, it wasn't a real criteria. But now i'm used to having it, i'll have a hard time doing without frontlight.
