What's wrong with the back lit? I would think that would be better.

Drains the battery a LOT faster. Glare is a bit harder on the eyes. Of course, neither are problems if you'll only be using it a couple hours a day.

Back-lit is like reading on your monitor.

E-ink (using room light) doesn't have the eyestrain issues. Read more than a few minutes and the difference is huge.

Get 10 hours on a battery charge for a psp with a regular battery. Even more with the extended life ones for reading. Never really had eye strain with it, but glare can be an issue sometimes with sunlight. Maybe I'm the only one that likes a utility device that can do multiple things.
