Dear Roncri:
Aside from 8,000 pages of text in a single charge, the E-ink and E-paper technology gives you no eye strain for one thing. It is far easier on the eyes.
Also, it gives you devices sich as the EZ Reader that weigh only 6.5 ounces and are very thin and easier to hold erect while reading. Ask yourself, also, how often you read in the dark; and what your eyes feel like after the reading in the dark. Eye doctors recommend not even looking at TV in a dark room.
If you do a ton of camping then you need that backlight. Otherwise, you may not miss it at all.
