E-ink is STILL the king of low-power displays, as every lit e-ink display can attest to.
Of course it is possible that it doesn't matter what mnay people do, just the target demographic. It is possible that many people read where there are lights on. It is possible that advertizing displays and those e-ink supermarket labels I heard of are used in lit areas. It is possible that many people find non-lit e-ink ereaders readable in less-well-lit areas.
Well-worth making the light optional, I should think.
