The old Sony hardware is beautiful. I have a 505, but want to try a Sony with touchscreen and light. I've found a 700 for $30 and want to try it. But have heard very few good things about the 700.

It's tough to find screenshots of the reader with the frontlight on, but I know it is very poor. But how is the rest of the reading experience? And as poor as the frontlight was, is it at least useable?
