I finally decided on the Astak Pocket Pro. It arrived yesterday, and I'm really enjoying it! I was afraid I'd have difficulty reading without the backlighting, but I'm finding it's not too bad, as long as there is sufficient light around me. Last night for reading in bed I just propped a small LED flashlight against my pillow, and that provided sufficient light to read by. I will eventually invest in a book light (I think I want to get the Mighty Bright TravelFlex), but for now a flashlight is working.
