This is why I use a light in the room, or the sun light if possible, like when reading a real (paper) book.
Why do you assume that I based my choice on a theoritical analysis of the problem and the fact the lighting comes from back or front?
Back or front doesn't change anything: I bought an e-reader to have non-light-emitting device. And also: a non-LED-light-emitting device.

You've got your mind made up, but you're missing out on one of the best features of front lit e-ink devices. They can be read in total darkness and bright sunlight, and any light situation inbetween, without needing a separate light. Adjustable front lighting is not bad for the eyes, it doesn't glare, and can be set to a level that works for the person. Front lit e-ink devices are nothing like back lit tablets.
You've consistently misused the correct terminology, which it what leads to other users here "assuming" that you have based your decision on misunderstood technology.
Carry on. The loss is yours, and the kids who are using the device.
