Indeed. What I want out of a reader is the ability to actually use it in "difficult" lighting situations (like right outside), and I want to be able to take it with me and not have to recharge after just a few hours.
I find inverting the screen, so it's white (or light gray) text on a black background, makes a backlight more tolerable. But it still doesn't solve the former issues.
