The results of this poll make me very curious; I see that the majority of voters have said that they regard backlighting as "vital".
May I ask someone who voted in that way, how you managed before electronic bookreaders appeared? Do you never read paper books? That format has, I believe, been moderately successful despite the lack of self-lighting. My local town has a number of stores full of them!
Despite being an e-book fan, I still read a lot of paper books simply because many of my favourite authors aren't available as e-books. Eg, one of my favourite authors is R.F. Delderfield ("To Serve Them All My Days", "A Horseman Riding By", etc). None of his books are, to the best of my knowledge, available as e-Books. I would hate to deprive myself of the pleasure of frequently re-reading his wonderful books simply because they don't have built-in lighting.
