No, it is backlighted, so you can read it in any light (unlike the Reader which requires strong light), even in total darkness. It does not tax the eyes at all because you can regulate the brightness and contrast. You can even turn off the backlight and it can be read, like a Reader, under a bright light.

Alas, there is no more content for it other than Gutenberg and .txt books.
I'm not promoting it, just contrasting its advantages over Sony in the faint home that maybe Sony will wake up some day and improve the Reader.
