No 5" eInk Readers had a front light. You'll only get a front light on 6" to 9.7". And as for small 5" Readers. I don't know if anyone still makes such. Kobo no longer does. And you don't want any 5" Reader older and a Kobo Mini are they are slow (battery may not last long) and can tend to crash (or run really really slow) on modern eBooks with hi-res images and most likely have a Pearl screen and not a Carta screen.
