As the next poster guessed--her husband doesn't want a light on while he's trying to sleep! The little clip lights would probably work, but the iTouch will likely end up as the answer since they already own one. Of course the iTouch was HIS Christmas gift last year so I think I just ungifted it with my suggestion and it will be in the hands of the giver...
As for the e-ink/opaque versus backlighting--yes, I know the current technology doesn't allow for backlighting. My point was that something should be invented that DOES allow for both. Obviously it won't be e-ink as we know it; it'll have to be some ultra cool device invented by aliens whose technology is more advanced than ours...our just a couple of guys in a garage (which seems to be where most really cool inventions happen--something about gasoline fumes, I wonder??)
