You are not going to find a Reader that has a font light that does not have WiFi. But like I said, once you register, you can turn off WiFi and keep it off. I mostly keep the WiFi off on my Kobo and I have no problem doing so.
Don't worry, I have no plans on trying to track down a PRS-700. I'd have no concerns pulling it apart to replace a battery, but from the pictures I've seen it looks like it'd be alot worse than even the PRS-505 with light cover.

Even the possibility of internet connectivity is a no for me, so if the PRS-700 really is unique as being the only frontlit ereader without WiFi, something homebrew might be in my future. Thanks for your input.
