I don't have a lighted cover on my Kindle, but I have used my 700 more than any of the other 5 eink readers I've used, mainly because of the built in illumination. I don't think it photographs well. I've never been able to get a good interpretation of my ereader vs. how it feels in actual use. Plus, although it has LED's, the lit page looks like a warm light. I prefer it over my MightyBrights for color temp. I think it's because when the reader is off, the screen is so dim that it's really is a bad choice for daytime reading, but for reading in the dark, or low light conditions, it's one of the best.
I wouldn't recommend it as your only reader unless you read almost always at night.
