47 posts and at least I've found 1 other Sony PRS700 supporter. Guess we'll be bidding it up and up when one comes on eBay. One poster asked why I was so adament for a light (built in). I guess it comes down to being able to read at any time. The PRS700 is usable in day light / artifical light although the e-ink screen is greyish and not so paper like. The beauty comes when the artifical light is taken away and with one switch flick reading continues. My anology is liken to the car. What's the point of having a car if you can only drive in the daytime? Solution: Add lights.
Thanks to all the posters who passed on their experience with add-on lights. My read on them still is they are gadgets not solutions (sorry Harry). To date the most portable light solution i've seen is the minature miners helmets, in the the 21st centuary this is just not good enough. E-ink changed the reading habits of millions of readers something not even the PC could do. As e-ink, LED and LCD technology improves I would be willing to bet a compact, long battery life, clear screen reader with built in light is just around the corner.
