You know what you want, so....

Just the same. I loved my 350s. I had one as my purse reader and one with the lit cover as my bed reader. But tech advances and I (regretfully) moved on. The 350s have a ppi of 200; a Carta screen and increased ppi more than compensate for the layer added by front lighting. And much as I loved it, I do remember having to jigger the light in my lit cover so as to avoid a glare spot on the reader.

I guess I don't get the issue. If by external light, you mean ambient light or lamp light, turn the light off on a Kobo. If you mean booklight, then IMO, the front light of a newer generation reader dots the same thing, but more evenly and with finer tuning.
