Not being lighted is what has kept me from trying it. If they do add lighting I hope it is a front light and not a back light. Hard to beat a front lit e-ink display for reading. Bonus points for warmth settings.

Its not physically possible to have eink (based on inked beads, like the current e-reader has) and backlight.

only frontlight is possible.
