I recently sold my PRS-500 on ebay and had pre-ordered the PRS-700 reader. To me, image contrast is more important than the bells and whistles and I was hoping that the new model would be like the 505 -- which had a much whiter background -improved contrast for easier reading than my 500.
Today I went to the sonystyle store to compare the 505 against their demo 700 side by side under the bright lights. To my dismay, the 700 had poorer contrast than the 505 and reminded me immediately of my old 500.
My order for the new unit was cancelled and I plan to buy a 505 using my new Sony Visa card (getting $150 credit) and the profit from my ebay sale.
Oh well, I'm picky about the screen contrast and don't have a need for the extra features......
Bottom line - try to go to a sonystyle store and compare for yourself and see if the new model meets your needs or not...
now -- I need to read the 505 forum to see if they have a lot of neat hacks and tricks like the 500 model had....
