I'm Lisa, the one who wrote the MobileTechReview.com review. Personally, I was so excited I could hardly stand waiting for the PRS-700. Once I had it in my hands, I decided to go with the 505. I really care about the screen quality, and the 505 is wonderful. The 700's features are fantastic, but it was no better than reading on a Tablet PC (perhaps worse in terms of contrast). *sigh* I read on planes, on exercise bikes-- places where light isn't always the best, wide viewing angles are important and glare can be a factor-- the 505 was just much easier to read.
