is there backlighting?

Nope, unfortunately no backlighting. But even without backlighting I stand my contention that the PRS-950 is still the best ebook reader on the market. Why others don't manufacture 7" ereaders is beyond me. I did come across one 7" ereader recently (and it actually has backlighting) from Kobe (Kobo Aura HD). But for some reason there's a considerable amount of wasted space at the top and bottom of the screen so I don't believe there's any more reading real estate than the 6" ereaders offer.

No there is not backlighting, but I love this ereader. I've had it for several years and have had practically no problem. Any issue I had was quickly and efficiently answered by Sony's customer service. Sony's CS is easy to contact and they know the answers to any of my questions and you may call them even after the warranty expires. They are always available. I take it when I travel.

No backlight, but does have a nice zippered case. Interestingly, it does not come in a cardboard box -- just in the case!

No, keyboard is not backlit, but when you open it the screen gives off enough light to see the keyboard.

The keys have no backlight. There are LED accent lights around the perimeter and for Caps Lock, etc.

There is a backlit key board available. I'm sure they will be showing up on eBay soon !

Just the Razer signature green backlighting. You can choose brightness but just one color.

No. There is just tube glow. No backlight. Looks cool, tubes are fairly bright. Backlit with some leds sounds cool though.. hmmmm

Yes. The keyboard is back lit kind of bluish white. There are three brightness levels - four if you count "off."

It does not appear to. I have not looked into it extensively, there may be a way to switch them on. But the default is not a backlit keyboard.

The backlight is in blue only. I have found no way to change or dim the color. It is quite bright at night.

No backlight just dark numbers againsta light background. In good light, thecontrast is fine. Great little tool.

There are 3-4 different backlighting modes...one of which is completely turned off. No issues entering bios after installation. Had this keyboard for about 6 months and I love it. The only thing that's missing is volume control, but can manage without that.

mm, have owned this laptop for a couple of weeks now, and no, i haven't noticed a backlit keyboard. Unless it's an option which needs to be activated, because i haven't really sat down to study all details to the smallest. But all nites that i worked on it, it wasn't backlit. hope that helps.

Go to Setting menu, scroll down to the Miscellaneous Setting, scroll down to Display Backlit. Default setting is pretty bright. I

No, I don't believe it is backlit. I certainly haven't found that option yet.

Well, its a black keyboard with black keys so in the dark, no. During the day they are quite visible. I would call the backlighting subtle, it isn't super bright and during daylight its hardly noticeable. Personally I don't like a keyboard that is blazingly bright. It might be nice if there were intensity levels, but that's a lot to ask in this price range. I will say this is a great keyboard, a pleasure to work with and it is very difficult to find keyboards with orange back lighting. My only complaint is that it is compact and so the del/home etc keys are in odd places. Other than that it is speedy for typing and comfortable for gaming.
