Last year some companies introduced their lighted models. This year I cannot imagine anything new or innovative enough concerning eInk readers to entice me to buy one. I think the eInk market will stick around for many years, but it will be in decline. The eInk readers are "one trick ponies" that are good for reading books. They suck for reading magazines, newspapers, and PDF files. These days consumers want something more than a "one trick pony" so they buy tablets instead.
