Since Sony proved they couldn't manage that feature successfully, I think I am going to wait and see with what they come up with next.

You know they will have another new model with in a year or so anyway.
If you mean "back lit" screen, it is impossible to backlight epaper. The lighting on the 700 was from the sides.

If you want backligting, use some sort of PDA, although this is notoriously hard on the eyes.

Easy on the eyes or backlit - unless they come out with completely different technology - you can't have both.
