The Kindle isn't backlit. In fact, it uses power only to go to the next page. I haven't tried one, but it sounds like a workable alternative, and I've heard some good things about it.. Ultimately, devices like the Kindle -- but much better yet -- will replace paper books for novels, ordinary non-fiction and textbooks. However, I suspect there will be specialty books, including photography volumes, for quite a few years to come.
Still, a Kindle won't fit into yer' cargo pocket, nor is it rugged enough to stuff into a ruck-sack.
It's awful hard for the Chaplain to amass a library of used ones to stock the MWR room or pass out to the troops.
And I ain't never seen a paperback that required a battery to display the text - backlit or not.
