Being an IPAQ reader myself, I feel your pain. I was one of the people who claimed I would not miss the backlight very much. I was wrong. I'm still hoping that I can get a good clip on light or something but right now I find myself wanting to pull out my IPAQ when reading in bed. It's more than just the night time thing. I'm so used to backlight that it felt very funny to have to angle the reader to catch the most rays from my beside light. I'm used to being able to read equally well in any position. I hope that lightwedge thingie comes out because I'll be an early adopter on that as well.
Figures the thing would come out just as it's getting too cold to read outside in NJ. That's a huge part of why I wanted to switch to e-ink - I love sitting outside by the pool or at the beach with a good book.
