I can definitely understand the proprietary content argument. When you talk about a backlight, though, is that just "an attached light" or is it an actual, light-emitted-through-the-screen backlight?
I'm personally very glad to get rid of the second kind of light; I can feel my eyes hurting after a while of reading books on LCD and similar screens (for some reason, coding, web browsing, and gaming don't do that to me, just reading...).
If it's just an attached light, well, I guess I can see the attraction of having one. Would a well-designed, non-clunky separate attached light do as well, or does it have to be built in to the reader device?
Just curious about the 'perfect device' ;-)
