Converting is not really all that hard. You can do it with a single click if you use calibre.
The devices that nativly read the Mobipocket without removing DRM would be the CyBook, EZ Reader (BeBook) or iLiad.
None of those have the built in light.
I really think you just need to go to the store and look at the 700. If the screen is ok for you then that is probably your best choice for reading in a dark room. I assume it is much better than a clip on light.
That said, in the US i would always recommend the Kindle first... content, content, content. I very much doubt that it will take 3 months for those Kindle orders to be fulfilled.
