They do not need light as they shine a light directly in the screen from bottom or up which lights up the entire screen. There is no backlight but frontlight if you will.[DOUBLEPOST=1415036174][/DOUBLEPOST]E-Ink is different from LCD/CRT/Plasma or other display technologies. There's no backlighting - so external light source is necessary.

Congo, its fantastic, I read a book on my way to office today. The reader was exposed to sunlight all the time but it never hurt my eyes. Same reading done on phone would have given me a massive headache. Its a fantastic device.I also got a Kobo Glo from the same offer on ebay.in. Me and 3 other of my friends got that ereader. Its awesome for the price that we picked it.
