I was talking to a friend of mine this past week--she received a Kindle for Christmas. The one thing she wanted was the ability to backlight so that she could read in bed. I told her about the clip-on lights and we discussed pros and cons. In the end, I think her solution will be to read on the iPod Touch at night so that she has the backlight.
I think the key takeaway for me is that with a reader, ideally you would have both--some situations you don't want backlighting, some you do.
The other takeaway was that the younger generations EXPECTS backlighting and don't mind it. In fact, she had never thought of any reason to not have it and wasn't certain that not having it was a good thing (she could read just fine on the Kindle, but wondered why it was the way it was.)
Whoever can come up with a device that allows for both wins. :>)
