I say try both before making your decision. I'd been reading on back-lit screens for a few years before switching to e-Ink (with a light). There's no way I'd go back to back-lit.
Reading a pocket pc or my tablet always felt like having a flash light shone into my eyes.

Having said this, many other people are very happy reading on back-lit screens. You really should try both and make your mind up based on your experience.
