I think one's opinion of the 700 depends on what you are coming from. When I bought it, it was the replacement for an eBookwise 1150 - and it was the greatest thing since sliced bread - SO much better and clearer than the 1150 and lit besides.
However, putting it up next to a PRS-650 or a Kobo - well, it seemed dark and blurry in comparison, and I only used it for low-light reading - and then needed money and had to sell something, so I decided the 650 was the keeper. Still not sure that was the right decision.
I've seen the lights in the covers - they seem to facilitate glare.
If some one did come up with a lit eink replacement, I would surely save up my pennies for it. I loved that 700.
