My experience largely mirrors the OP's. I find reading and writing in darkness to be very pleasant with the new backlight, but YMMV. Lack of backwards compatibility with my existing RM2 styli is somewhat annoying, but I'll deal. The RM2 was a huge improvement over the original Remarkable; the RMPP is a smaller, but still substantial, improvement over the RM2. If you can afford it, I recommend it.
