So I went to the Sony store in Costa Mesa to look at the PRS-700 and pickup the light-wedge cover for my 505 and ended up walking out with the 700. The 700 is noticeably lighter/greyer/less visible than the 505, also it feels much thicker. That being said I carry my 505 in my back pocket and the light-wedge was too wide to fit in my back pocket, where the 700 still fits. I also like the reduced buttons and touchscreen of the 700 not to mention the LED light that the 700 offers and began the trip for me.

To make the 700 more readable (it is not terrible by default, but worse than the 500) I changed the size to medium and it is very easy to read.

The 700 is currently charging and I only used it for 15 mins, but the SD scan and resize are much faster than the 505.

I will post more as my return window continues.
