What is the advantage of front lit screens? I have a Sony PRS-t1 with a cover and reading light which works great. Is it the same as using a front lit screen? I know that iPad gives light from behind the screen and that is not great for reading for hours.
I see all these nice Kindles, Kobo Auras.....but like I said, I think my 2 year old Sony works fine as it is.
