Hi,

I've been thinking about a PRS-700 purchase and was hoping someone might have some details about this new device.

1) Battery/Charger:
A) How much impact does the integrated lighting have on battery charge?
B) Are there any sources for replacement batteries and how difficult would it be to replace one? (Heh, probably listed as 'non user replaceable').
C) Will any ~5v ac adapter charge this device? Is a specific amperage required?

2) Controller: Does it have the same controller as the 505, the new Epson, or other?

3) Storage:
A) What is the max. capacity of memory stick and SD cards it will accept?
B) Does the device make a separate index for files on memory cards or integrate them with files on the internal memory? Is a search/find performed easily?
C) What impact do the different memory cards have on battery charge? Same as 505?(i.e.memory stick=not so bad, SD=battery sucker).

Any info is appreciated.
Has anyone seen the innards yet? Pics or links to pics would be a bonus.
Thanks,
