One thing to remember: front lighting isn't just for reading in dim light. The KPW is actualy designed to run with the light on everywhere except in direct sunlight. The frontlight increases the contrast and renders the background about as white as real paper.
So if Sony thinks that front lighting is only for reading in bed and thus not a sales driver, they are missing a(nother) big opportunity.
