No eInk device can have a backlight for the very simple reason that eInk screens are opaque, and hence cannot be illuminated from the back.

EInk screens can be (and are) frontlit, using LEDs at the sides of the screen, and a light diffuser to spread the light across the screen surface, but a 13" screen is just too big for a light diffuser to work at all well: the light would be very uneven.
