Why does the one on the picture look backlit?

Yes, e-readers nowadays have a “frontlight”, a fiber otic mesh overlaid on top of the display. But the list of materials they provide doesn’t have anything that would provide this light.
Martineski@lemmy.dbzer0.com 2 days ago 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!

intensive studio lighting? e-ink is reflective so good enough front light makes them surprisingly bright.

You have to be a member of the secret photographer society before they’ll tell you. They are a secretive and judgmental bunch, saying things like “Hey! Get out of the frame, this is a professional photo shoot, not a photography tutorial. How did you even get in this studio? How would you like it if I randomly showed up at your job asking why you did the things you were doing?”
Turns out that last question is not a request for an info dump about my job.
