Sony Ereader Backlight

Does the Sony Reader Touch Edition have a backlight?

I find this a key quality in an eReader, seeing as I read at night.
does anyone know about the PRS-600?
I think the PRS 600 is the newer addition, so I doubt they would take off the back light, but still wondering....

No, the Sony Reader never has a backlight, so do all ebook readers. You can get an ebook reader light like this one (just like book light when reading physical books), and you'll be able to read in the dark without problem. Just read some reviews of it to decide whether it suits your need:

I've also given a detailed comparison here on the most popular ebook readers in the market, guess you'll be interested:

And in case you don't know, Amazon just put a big price slash on the Kindle, and it is now a good time to get it. I put the link below for you to check it out yourself.

Hope it helps

   Edit. Note: This is wrong information. Both Kindle and Sony allow sharing the same book between different Kindles (or in the case of the Kindle iPhones etc.). See Next Comment for more details.

   You missed one important part in making a good ereader… the ability to share a book…

   Sony ereader already allowed for this option where four ereader devices can be connected to one library account… allowing a family of four to share in one purchased ebook… Kindle currently requires that each buy their own… Any book reader knows that it is much nicer to be able to lend a book or have it in a family library where all family members can have access to… Sony ereader addresses this … a buying feature for me, if only they could improve on the others…]]>
