I have the PRS-700, if i needed a Second Device as a Back-up or one for my girlfriend, i would probably Get the JetBook (or possibly a 505 if i could find it cheap enough), the only Disadvantage of LCD over Eink is that LCD doesnt have Subpixel Dithering (cleartype) so the fonts look blocky when compared to Eink, everything else i think LCD beats Eink out of the park, such as Contrast, and Refresh Rate.
Actually e-ink does not have subpixel aliasing since a subpixel requires color and the idea of subpixel is to use one of the basic color pixels which is only 1/3 the full size of a pixel, hence the term sub-pixel. E-ink only has a dot per pixel so there is no way to achieve subpixel. Clear type works fine on LCD displays but there is no clear type on e-Ink devices. What is used on e-Ink is anti-aliasing techniques of using an adjacent pixel in gray scale to blend with the regular pixels to achieve an apparent smoothness.
