The contrast ratio is great. As others have pointed out the light is used for courtesy when reading in bed, just as a book light would be used on a printed book.
For technical books eReaders are still a work in progress, but for recreational fiction it is an outstanding device.
Do make sure to convey your frustrations with DRM to Sony. Every disgruntled customer means lost revenue.
Try again in a year they might have exactly what you want by then.
