AFAIK, the lighting system tech is currently too poor for use on e-ink devices of that size.

The biggest device with a really good backlight that I know of is the Onyx T68 (6.8"), but the touch accuracy is... poor, unless you're lucky with what you receive.

I am also not counting future devices, as Onyx are asking what the successor to the M96 should be like, and backlit is a major response.

So perhaps next year there will be 9.7" devices that are backlit.
There are several 8" devices with front lights that have shipped (backlights are not possible in E Ink or any EPD device). Check Front light in our wiki for details.
