Reading with the 900 is like reading with a mirror. The touch layer used is very reflective. It also kills the contrast. And finally, there's no front light. Because the 900 is a stretched 6" Reader, a light will be a lot weaker toward the bottom of the screen if you could even get a light for it.
Overall, I think going with a new Reader that has a better screen and a light would be better. Since you do want a Reader with a screen larger than 6", a Kobo Aura H2O (better contrast, better resolution, front light) at 6.8" would do better than a 900 (IMHO).
The on feature the 900 has that I wish all Readers had is a user replaceable battery. If it wasn't for the really poorly designed touch layer, I would have bought one.
