I use the light all the time on its lowest setting and it in daylight makes your screen appear just a tad whiter and gives it more contrast, while in the evening the convenience is indescribable. I am so sick of those clip-on lights or those covers with lights.
Front lighting is so convenient to use compared to those clip-on nuisances. I would have been prepared to pay double the price of other brands if Sony had only added front lighting. They could have even kept the low res of the old screens as far as I am concerned.
I love Sony's dictionaries and software, but they seem to live in the days of yesteryear. To me having no front lighting on a modern ereader is like having a car without headlights, but instead having a guy with a lantern on a stick walking in front of it to show you the road.

Sad that some will leave sony because of the light. I think i may eventually get a t3...depends on the software. I am not too crazy about ereader lights right now due to the issues they seem to have with tears. plus the color of the screen and glow just remind me too much of a tablet or those flourescent digital watch lights. Many covers with lights now do an excellent job of illuminating the screen.(Refer to the link in my earlier post) If a built in light can acheive the soft glow of a white or yellow light on paper like the clip on or cover lights....im all in. But as of now they have a long way to go in that regard as well as their stability.
