Apple, Samsung, and Google are thoroughly written off by me, at least, as they don't make E-Ink readers. I have also lost faith in Volkswagen, Hoover and Nike

I'm clutching at the straw that Sony will also release a lighted reader along with the one in the description. I have had several Sony readers, and all featured very solid software and good build quality. Unless the lighted display itself is shot down in reviews I'll very likely buy one. It's strange if they choose to forgo a killer feature like integrated lighting (neither clip-on lights nor lighted covers suit me, have tried both) as long as they're still launching readers. It seems like lots of people like frontlights in their readers after all.

Oh well, I'll await their announcement, and if I'm disappointed I'll probably buy a Kobo Glo. The PW, while having an excellent display, has some serious flaws which makes it a non-contender for me (not a topic for discussion in this thread).
