My H2O looks good with the light off. You could get a good Reader that has a front light and just keep the light off.

The 700 is not such a Reader. It needs the light on to be able to read with it.
My Nook Simple Touch with Glowlight definitely needs the light on or it's very murky. I had a chance to bid on a 700 and didn't after I saw how its lights worked in a YouTube video. Didn't look good at all (of course it could have been a poor video).

I wish I could take a look at Kobo Aura (or another of the newer Kobos before buying), but I think the Touch will probably work out okay for now (if I win the bid).
