Picky picky.
This actually makes shopping EVEN MORE difficult, because some e-readers use the term "front light", some use the term "back light" since that's what most consumers think it is, and others (I'm looking at you, Kobo) invent their own silly proprietary name like "COMFORTlight" and don't use the term "back light" or "front light" anywhere in their product description, making themselves unsearchable. Way to go, guys.
And of course, searching for "light" is useless because every e-reader declares itself to be "light weight".
Alright, now I'm just going to go cry for a while.
