Thanks Kelly for your reply. The PRS-700 is not backlit. the light is designed with the same concept as the light wedge where it's lit around the square of the PRS-700 screen making the edges brighter than the center of the e-ink screen.

To me, the lighting on the light wedge is very similar to how the lighting on the PRS-700 is designed. My opinion is that the light wedge has taken away "something" from the viewing experience of the PRS-505 screen and kind of reminded me of my viewing experience on the PRS-700.

What's difficult for me to discern is whether the PRS-505/light wedge combination is better/worse than the viewing experience on the PRS-700.
