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.
The Sony PRS-X50 line was a vast improvement over the 700. None of them had lights, but the PRS-350 which was not WiFi capable also had a lit case, so kinda, sorta what you’d like. The 350 is/was a lovely little device and there are probably some still out there. I think the battery’s replaceable? (People will be able to correct me on that.). Only 5”, but you said no bigger than 6”.
