I knew what you meant by "backlight," sometimes folks get hung up on technicalities here.

The Kindle Voyage (if they're still available in, I guess, England -- since you used the "£" for currency) and the Kindle Oasis are the only two with page turn lights in the more common eReaders. I don't think the Nook Glowlight 3 is available in England (and a lot of people have complained about its firmware, though they like the hardware). Kobo doesn't make a modern eReader with page turn keys.

So, if you're more interested in ePub (rather than Amazon's AZW3 format) you'll probably have to look at something like the Pocketbook or inkBook readers. I think all of Pocketbook's readers have buttons.

I think all inkBook readers also have buttons (but these are not as established as the Pocketbook readers).

https://www.inkbook.eu

I think most (if not all) Onyx Boox readers have buttons as well.

I think all these are based on Android.

There are others who know a lot more about this than me, they'll probably show after the weekend is over.

Good luck.
