I AM a old Sony user, and i am very satisfied with the company and the products. I do like that they have an idea and stick to it despite the whiners. As said previsouly, lighting is an extra, and i value immensely more the core qualities of a reader, and i think in that field, Sony has been great, because their ereaders are the best quality products i have ever tried and used. So stop the "we" thing, ok?

Stating why we, and yes, there are enough of us, who are disappointed with Sony, to use "we," are switching away is a normal reaction. You seem to be taking this very personally for some reason.
I'm also an old Sony user. I've had the PRS 500, 505, 700, 600, 650 and T1. I've been with Sony since the start. I returned the 700 and 600 and stuck with the 505 until the 650 came out. At that point Sony listened to users, and fixed their stupid touch layer, which was glossy, and diminished text clarity.
I left them at the T2. I find a light as a necessity, and I don't see why "not having a light" is a big feature. After all, when I put my T1 next to my kobo Glo with the light off, the difference negligible. I don't think there are many people for whom a must have feature is "not having a light." You can always just keep it off and use a clip on light if needed. And because of that all that will happen is that the Sony market share will shrink. Again.
And I think Sony thinks like you do, and dismisses any such feedback as "whining" and that's why they aren't long for this market. For PS4, they listened to user feedback. Microsoft didn't and has been backpedaling since. But they're Microsoft, they can afford to do it.
