Don't you mean 600 and 900? 300 isn't touch screen.

I frequently read my 505 in a low light setting. My girlfriend requires more sleep than I do, and also has trouble when sleeping not next to me. So when she goes to bed, I go to bed, and I often will read with just a little LED light. No more difficult to read than paper.
