I had the original Note (my wife has it now) which didn't have a light. I used to sometimes use it with a clip on light when I was reading at night and didn't want to illuminate the entire room.

The problem I had was that I would have to periodically adjust the clip on light. It was difficult to get a nice even light over the entire surface. And then if I wanted to change the location of my hand while reading, the clip on light would sometimes be in the way. It also wasn't the most convenient setup when traveling.

I much prefer the Note Pro because of its frontlight. Unlike a backlight, it doesn't shine directly into one's eyes. Unlike a clip on light, it provides even lighting across the entire surface and I can freely move my hands when reading. It is also a breeze to use when traveling... And I can easily switch it off when I don't need it.

I think a frontlight on a 13" device would be great. However, from what I understand, there are some difficulties with providing even lighting across such a large surface with a frontlight. Too bad. Hopefully, they will eventually resolve this issue.
