Hi all!

I recently placed an order for the PRS-700 and am really looking forward to this new unit. Although I really liked the PRS-500, the improved contrast and screen refresh of the 505 and 700 seem very attractive to me.

I did install the hacked firmware from this forum to add a system power down on the 500 to save on battery life.

Does anyone know if the new 700 will allow you to have this feature?

Any more tips on saving battery power?
--- such as removing the SD card, avoid the mp3 player, and just use the complete power-down?

thanks.
