Hi Hughdal,

I was also initially disappointed with the screen contrast coming from a PRS-505 that suffered a broekn screen but still showed better contrast than the PRS-700. However after a few weeks the extra features of the PRS-700 are enough to convince me it is a better device.

The speed, the touch screen (I actually use the TOC and footnotes now) and backlight (I never used to read in bed with the PRS505) are all great features.

Sure I wish Sony could have kept the screen quality of the PRS505 and I suspect they will improve this on the next model, but for now this is best reader for me and I am sure you will also being to love it even more over the coming weeks.

Cheers,
Marcus
