I've seen only some produced last year, not for the Iliad or Sony--not impressive. Granted, the specs mentioned are good. But, the res. issue is really a moot one and not the major thrust. Text can be pretty scrappy and still be fine...if picture-less.
For me, the purpose of a backlight is to read where there is no available/ insufficient light. In bed, on the couch, in the unlit car-seat at night...it really won't matter how amazingly reflective the screen is. No light = No read. The add-on clip lights are...cute... Very cute looking glare creaters. And, no, I haven't used a clip-on light. I did however just use my small led flashlight on my Hiebook and decided it was a ''don't do''. -Referring to the Glare Factor, that is.
So, a built-in light is a must-have for me.
