Do you have a 300 and a 505? These both have good, clear screens because they don't have the touch layer. They have 8 levels of grey scale instead of 16, but are still bright and readable (especially with a dark font like Constantia). As JSWolf will mention, they don't have hyphenation or justification. And neither has a dictionary feature. (I should mention, there seems to be a lot of these and they're cheap.)

I think (sooner or later) I'll probably sell my 600 and 900 and won't be looking to pick up a 500 or 700 or T3 (in other words, I won't be trying to collect them all as I've got too many eReaders). I did pick up a T1 off Shop Goodwill for $10 plus s/h – it looks to be in good condition (advertised as working, but no picture showed it turned on) and it's supposed to arrive on Saturday. It's white, so it's the one I plan to put in the white lighted cover you linked. And I will continue to look for a 650, as I would like to have the complete x50 set.
