Strictly speaking no eInk screen can have a backlight since the display is opaque. AFAIR, the problem with the PRS-700 was that while it used LEDs built into the sides the screen for illumination, it did not have the lightguide to spread light evenly (more or less) across the screen so you could see the cones from the individual LEDs, all 8 of them with 4 on each of the long sides of the screen.
