There is no difference.
Not true. Absolutely not the same thing. You keep claiming this. Ambient reflection is never ever brighter than a decent book illuminated by light. Automatic front light level only sometimes works. It's as easy to have a front light too bright as a back light.

Only eink read without a front light is like natural reading and you can't do that with colour eink. It's always too much dimmer than paper without the front light. As you move around the front light will sometimes need turned up or down to give a screen as if lit by ambient light.
