Welcome to MobileRead!
There are no e-ink devices that are back lit (need a lamp or a booklight). There is one that is side lit. The lack of back lighting tends to make reading on e-ink easier on the eyes, less eye strain.
There are LCD based devices that are back lit (closer to your Palm experience).
Would you mind answering a few questions.
- what country are you in? (not all readers are available in all countries)
- how computer savvy is your husband? (format conversion may be required)
- do you have a price range you would like to stay in?
