Can’t you get backlit e-ink displays? Don’t kindles have them?

Yes, e-readers nowadays have a "frontlight", a fiber optic mesh overlaid on top of the display. But the list of materials they provide doesn't have anything that would provide this light.

Well, technically eink displays don't have backlight but frontlight.

Don't know why you're getting down voted for this, you're technically correct, the best kind of correct!
