Okay. One thing to consider is that mini-LED booklites are cheaper, last longer and much lighter than older incandescent booklites. Thus, using an LED booklite isn't that much of an 'inconvenience'. Further, one could modify a Lightwedge, using velcro, to fit onto the average eInk reader - sure, it's much more expensive than a typical booklite, but it gives nice, even illumination across the surface.
And then there's the larger screen size and the longer battery life of the average eInk reader - we're talking days and *weeks* of battery life here!
For that kind of mobility convenience, I'd be willing to have to add an LED or Lightwedge booklite to the package.

I will look into the e-Ink stuff - but I did say I wasn't familiar with the technology. Now that I understand the why of not having a backlight, I just have to consider if I'm interested in one. I really don't mind charging my ebook devices more often. I guess I'll have a look at the Sony E-Reader this week and see how I feel then.
I found a deal on some tablet PCs for $155 each. Maybe that is another route I can take.
