Yes, I tend to use the backlight quite a bit, especially in the summer when I sit outside in the evenings/early night and would prefer to use some sort of integral lighting that having to use some other wider area type of lighting. Of course the nice thing about the palm was that the lighting was green, so it didn't affect night vision as much as the other devices, e.g. EBM-911 and REB-1100.

The more that I think about this and look at the info, the more it looks like this generation of e-book reading devices have actually fallen behind in overall features and OS/fw with the only real upside being eInk...

I'm thinking that the integral lighting is going to push me to PRS-700 or another REB-1100 from fictionwise then...

Thanks.
