You won't find a Reader without a light that's not too old, too slow, and probably have a battery that's had it.

Why don't you want a light? I find the light useful at times. I used to have Sony Readers with light covers and they did not work nearly as well as the front light we have now.

The PRS-900 has a screen that looks like a mirror. It's terrible.
The 950 is old, slow, low-res, battery is not going to be any good (this apply also to the 900).
The DX is also a disaster. It's old, slow, can only handle Mobi, heavy, low-res, battery is not going to be any good.

So you either go with a new Reader with a light or you go back to reading paper.
