And the no backlight is solved the same way as when you want to read a book. We slip on some light source and today our choices have never been better with clip on LED book lights.

I'm planning a trip to Asia in the near future and am looking for a tablet to use only for reading. I need something that has a back light for low-light reading and I need something that has minimal glare for high-light environments. I've considered the Kindle Paperwhite, but I have no hands-on experience with it. I have an iPad that I use for other activities... this new device is only intended for reading. Aside from the visibility factor, weight is also a concern. Anyone have recommendations? Thanks!
