Is there any new e-readers out there with a built in light? It is the number 1 requirement for me due to my reading habits.

I've owned a Sony 505 with the light wedge cover, a 700, 600 and I own the 650. I also have a Kindle 2. I've used the 600 light cover. I didn't like the light and returned it. I bought a MightyBright Travel flex in it's stead and prefer that one.
All that being said, the reader I use more than any other, even over my beautiful 650 is my 700, because I read mostly at night. The other readers I read in portrait mode, but I only read the 700 in landscape mode because of the way the light hits the screen.
If my 700 were to break, I'd do whatever I could to get another one because for my reading needs, reading lights are cumbersome and less enjoyable than reading on my 700. I really wish Sony would make a PRS-750. That would be ideal.
