I was discussing the various clever features of all these modern ereaders with a friend down the pub. He's an insomniac and figured he could read in bed at night if it was backlit - he doesn't want to disturb the wife. He reads old scifi etc so txt and epub would cover most of his needs. A dictionary would also be a bonus.

I wondered if any of the LCD devices that are fading from fashion at the moment might be suitable and reasonably cheap. I looked at the Aluratek Libre Pro which seemed to tick all the boxes but it wasn't backlit. Any ideas?
