I think you're right about the impossibility of backlighting e-ink. And that's fine with me; backlighting apparently places a lot of strain on the eyes compared to reflected light. I prefer my e-reader to be as close to the paper version as possible.
I don't even think I'll be buying any sort of USB lamp or anything - I don't carry a light with me when I take books out currently, and the loss of portability and battery life wouldn't make it worthwhile to me.
Basically, I'm happy with paper's abilities on this front!
