Here is a link to picture comparisons of the PRS-700 vs. the PRS-505.

The touch screen of the PRS-700 here adds to the blurriness and lowered contrast. Here is another link which compares the PRS-700 vs. the PRS-600:

The PRS-505, 600 and 700 all have the same Vizplex eink screen. The 600 and 700 have an added touch layer (this was before the IR touch screens of the PRS-x50 series), and the PRS-700 has built in side lighting to light up the screen. It seems that the built in lights led to less contrast and perhaps an extra bit of glossiness on the screen. Mind you, there were people who loved the PRS-700 and the built in lights, so your mileage may vary on whether or not the light is worth the loss of contrast and added glare or not. It could be that these problems have been solved with the new Nook.
