I only have two dedicated e-readers, the Pyrus mini (4.3") without front lightning, and the Kobo Glo. Like Samhy, I would happily pay for something that is smaller than 6" and is front-lit, but apparently nothing like this exists yet.
Mostly this would be for the situations where I read on my back, on the couch or bed, where the smaller device is more comfortable to hold and use. I prefer the 6" one when sitting up. (And I can see myself getting a larger e-ink reader for reading at the desk!)
But to answer the question: No, I'm not likely to buy another e-ink reader that isn't front-lit. I often read late at night or early in the morning, so the option to switch on the built-in light is definitely a huge plus. I use the iPad for PDFs, browsing, mail and light work, but for long reading sessions the LCD is too bright for me (and it has become so much brighter after I discovered e-ink/digital ink readers!).
