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.
I have a 505 and I played with the 700 last night. All I can say if I was looking at buying a 505 or 700. I would buy a 700. It was better in every way.
As for the screen it works w/o the stylus. The resolution is the same, and the speed is faster. Plus there is a zoom/font increase (5 fonts).
