Thanks for the info on the sony, I think the main reason I didn't want that particular model was that it was touchscreen. The iPad has made me a bit less against that on principle, but I still prefer buttons for page changes. I was particularly against it on the 700 because I kept reading that it affected the clarity of the e-ink screen to have the touchscreen layer.

lol I don't read in darkness often, but I do often read in low light situations. I like the room to be low light but the screen to be well lit. I watched some youtube videos of the sony prs-700 and the lighting system looked a bit weak. Then again, it is hard to tell about that kind of thing from video.
