Frontlight means that a unit has a LED light source that's shined(shone?) across the eink panel via a diffusion layer built into the eink panel to help you see the screen better in various instances. The Scribe without a frontlight will have zero illumination because it has no LED's. It will be dependent on room lighting or a clip on light source to be used in a bedroom for night reading as an example.
