So even if you are in an environment where it is bright enough that you might not consider turning on the light, and are getting annoyed by contrast/glare issues, try turning it on. Yes, I've tried comparing the two are there are plenty of environments where the PRS-505 is quite readable, and the PRS-700 (without the assistance of the sidelight) is not readable, but turning on the light really does help.
That means you'll have only a few hours of reading before the battery
is drained, in this case isn't it cheaper to buy a pocketpc ?
