Dear Nate:

Thank you for your hands-on review.
I am very interested in the PRS-700 having used a 500 and now a 505. The reason for my buying the 505 was the improved display. The 700 has the added benefit of touch screen and front-light, however does the additional layer of the front pane of glass/plastic, which is somewhat distanced from the display to allow for the LEDs, deteriorate the image? Is there a difference in clarity and contrast between the 700 and the 505?
