sure there is a way of turning the front light off on the e-reader. However, I find the additional layer of LEDS presumably makes the screen duller and greyer. It also requires an additional glass layer like on Nova Pro.
I had pretty bad eye strain from Nova Pro (with the front light) and returned it. So its a bit rare but there are people who are rather sensitive to front lights. I stick to my Max 2 (4 GB RAM, 13.3 inch no front light). In the future it is unlikely that there will be ereaders for me as the future is "front lit". Turning the front light off is not a solution. I hope that ereader manufacturers would release models with and without front light so people can choose. Front light is not a feature for me, it is a headache and a way to exclude a minority of users with eye issues.
