It may be that I'll be using a lighted case for the rest of my life on older eReaders. (Not really that big of a deal for me.)
May I ask, do you read in a dark room? I can't look at a lit screen in total darkness either. It doesn't matter if it's a tablet, phone or a frontlit e-ink reader, in the dark it's virtually impossible for me to use it. I also can't watch TV in a dark room.

Fortunately I do all of my reading in the daylight or under a lamp. Especially in the latter case there is no comparison between a frontlit and unlit screen - the first looks much better and more contrasty (I usually read with the light at level 9, that's on the lower end).
