Yes! My situation exactly.

The point of e-readers for me is I can carry less than a pound around with me instead of 10 lbs. of books. How does wanting to lay in bed and read it without having a light on that will keep my husband up mean I have missed the point? I know that eInk is not backlit, I've looked at a Kindle 1. My point was the Sony 700 had a slight added advantage (for me) in that it has a built in light.
Thank you all so much for all the advice. I actually bid on a Kindle 1 on eBay last night, but lost.
I will probably try again once I'm back from my trip next week.
