Hello all. Great forum you've got here!

I am thinking about buying a Sony E-Reader. I was pretty much set on buying the PRS-505 until I noticed some of the features on the PRS-700. I am a law student, so highlighting and annotating legal cases would be very useful, in theory. However from what I've seen of the notetaking, am I correct in assuming it involves tapping keys one by one with a stylus? That doesn't seem very efficient at all. And I've heard that the underlining is sluggish and problematic. Coupled with the fact that the PRS 505 seems to have better contrast and a readable screen, at least from the comments here, the cheaper 505 seems to be a better option. Especially if it drops in price with the 700 coming out.
