I really enjoyed ereading on my backlit ipaq in the dark, but the features I want on a new device don't come on a backlit ereader. It's all eink. So what do you do in the dark with an e ink device? I'm sorry if this is a lowbrow comparison, but my brother's handheld video game thingy has a little light that plugs right into the device. Does ANY eink reader have something like this? Specifically, will the 5" pocket pro?
Sony makes a very good book light but it only works with their PRS505. You can find more about it here: https://www.mobileread.com/forums/showthread.php?t=26776.
