I am sure I like the sony software better.... But I don't know if I like that backlight. I mean, I never really read in the dark... Who ever reads in pitch black ? Theres at worst a lamp next to my bed at night... And If I am camping in the forest I wouldn't be thinking of reading/cellphone/laptop anyway...

What is the use of it ?
yes, the H2O is worth the extra $. With the H2O you get many more font sizes, margin control, line height control, side loaded fonts and more choices of fonts. The ability to darken the fonts as wanted. The contrast is better. The size is better. The resolution is better.

It's a front light, not a back light. I do read in the dark sometimes in bed. I cannot have a light on when my wife is trying to sleep. So the only light I can use is the front light on the H2O. You say you'll never read in a dark room, but you could read in a room without enough light and you cannot ever say never as you just don't know.
