I have the M-Edge light that fits into the cover.

My friend, who is an avid reader, said the same regarding the advantages of not having a back-lite. The screen would be too bright after a while I realized she was right. You can't read for long periods of time on a regular computer or laptop screen...it burns your eyes. I'm assuming with eInk being the standard it's known (within the industry) that it's the best method of reading electronically.
