After charging the PRS-700 for about 4 hours through USB, I read for a little less than 5 hours, using gestures to flip pages virtually 100% of the time. Reading can be pretty natural this way, and page changes are fast.
The battery indicator remained at full charge. So, for me at least, the battery life appears great.
I used a Magic Light clipped to the cover, and the 700's screen was not perfect, but comfortably readable. It takes a bit of positioning, to avoid glare from the screen, as well as from the silverish accent line running along the top edge. Overall, I find it usable.
The built-in light would be fine for looking up something quickly, but it's way too uneven to use over extended periods. IMO.
During the day, though, I am not sure I love the screen as much. It is reflective, and a little dim for my taste. I'll have to give it a few more days, until I figure out if I can live with it.
