The main problem with the PRS-700 wasn't the lighting, as such. When used with lighting it was clearer than any reader had been up to that time. The problem was that when you used it without lighting - and the reader was designed to be used without lighting in normal usage - it was like reading through thick fog! The light diffuser was cloudy.

That picture, by the way, has massively boosted contrast. Visually the screen did not look like that at all.
