Yes, the screen is fairly dark, but at the time I bought my JBL, about four years ago, it seemed to look about the same as the e-ink screens. Later I got a backlit-LCD Aluratek Libre Color and found that I much preferred reading on that screen at the lowest possible brightness. Probably because it seemed more like a printed page.

The JBL uses replaceable AA batteries.
