![]() http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Light_pipe B&N's Nook was the first to market with light guide front lighting. http://www.barnesandnoble.com/p/nook...ble/1108046469 Sony tried front lighting *without* the lightguide in the PRS-700 4 years ago with less than successful results. (Though some of the minuses were from the touchscreen layer.) http://gizmodo.com/5058380/hands-on-...hscreen-reader There is evidence (in a Government contract Amazon is negotiating) that Amazon has front-lit Kindle on the way. (They own a small tech company that has been working on light guide films for years.) Think of it as a Kindle with a built-in might light; a Nite-lite Kindle. ![]() |

I like "Kindle Lit", rolls off the tongue nicely (and the lit can have a double meaning if you really want).
Ok, well, actually, I'd rather it was called "Kindle ePub Reader" but that ain't gonna happen. ![]() |
