You should consider the CyBook Gen3 as well. Personally I prefer machines like the CyBook or BeBook to the Sony because they support MobiPocket (a very popular eBook format) and because they do offer a world-wide warranty.

What Harry said.

And instead of the 700, you should really go for the 505 if you want a Sony instead, seems like most people on here who have seen/used the 700 are quite disappointed with it's screen and the quality/clarity of it.

Well, since I have a BeBook myself I can say that I am very happy with it, as for a "clip-on" lightsource for it, I can't really say, since I never have had a need for such a thing. But I'm certain it will work just fine since many other people here on MR have used external lightsources on other e-ink devices without problems.

I use my Cybook with a Mighty Bright XtraFlex 2 LED Light clipped to the cover and it works great. There is enough light to cover the whole screen and very little 'extra' light so hubby can sleep while I read. I'm sure this option will work well with the BeBook as well.
This is the light I have, I bought it a local bookstore:

I have a Mighty Bright DoubleFlex and I'm absolutely happy with it. Just clip it on the cover, adjust the flexible stems so the whole screen is evenly illuminated and there are no reflections, and off you go.

I've never tried a Verilux, though.

Hi

I have a Cybook and with it's option to "bold" all the text in a eBook, I really never felt the necessity to have a clip-on light… just a normal one will do in low lighted environments.

Good shopping,

... or just make the text a bit bigger.

I have used bold a bit and I think making it bolder is more effective in low light compared to just increasing the size. This is actually a nice feature that I think other readers are missing.

I do a combination of both, sort of, in low light situations I pick a thicker font and make it bigger. This way I still see the letters more clearly *and* any bolding which is part of the story. I love that I can add any font I want to my Cybook and have this option.
