Given the fact that Sony have released a new device every autumn for the last three years, the expectation that there will another one next autumn too is a very reasonable one .

It is very nice outside - I read 2 hours easily outside, true, winter and all, so the sun was not that strong so I cannot say how it will look in the summer but I expect to be nice. Did not really notice glare - it may be some, but not annoying so far at least . In bright indoor light it looks also very nice, while in dimmer light it needs the sidelights, but I love those, they give an "eerie" feeling to reading which at night is quite nice. I cannot say that there are conditions in which I can comfortably read a paper book without light and not read on the 700 without light. True in dim light, paper is crisper, but it's still not that comfortable to read at least for me, so I would still some bright light. It's hard to say after all the people trashing the 700, but personally I think that the difference in speed/ergonomics between the 700 and 505 is so huge and for me having paper-like display is not that important since after all I still can and do read print books happily. |

so, i think i've made up my mind. probably, if sony does make a 750 next year with a better display, i'll try to sell my 700 and buy the new one. but i'll be glad to have it for this year, i think. |

Many people complain about the screen of the 700 and I agree that compared to 505 it is not so crisp - though to my mind it preserves the eink feel and characteristics - but if you used the Ebk1150, you will have a hard time to use a machine so comparatively slow as the 505.

liseuse : generic term for an electronic reading device. prettier than "device". less controversial than "ereader" (or rather, possibly equally controversial, depending on who you ask, but in a different way).
