For some reason I still sometimes have trouble with front-lit readers. It's usually easier on my eyes to use a non-lit reader with my Glocusent reading light (which is what I've been doing a lot of lately). I'm currently reading a book on my Sony T3 with it.

Yes, obviously people and their tastes are very different. I charge my ancient ereaders regularly and compare them to my current ereaders every time... and frankly, I can't understand how I was able to read on them and even enjoy it - they really seem terrible to me now. Of course, back when I used them, there was nothing particularly better, that was where the technology was at the time. But now I couldn't imagine using them. Well, if I were stuck on an uninhabited island with only these for company, maybe then I would be forced to use them.
But not if I had any other choice.
Anyway, what I wanted to say is that what's perfectly good for one person, may be far from being so for another, and I resent the suggestion (expressed by the OP) that you're just "pushing" new stuff for no reason if you don't find every ancient piece of tech to be perfectly good.
