Hi there,
I have been using a PRS 500 for... erm... I donīt know 2 years? It accompanied me on at least two major vacations, so it must be 2 years...
I canīt even remember when I last read a paper book.
Anyway, now since the 700 has come out, I was thinking about an upgrade. There are several reasons why I would like to upgrade:
- bigger memory- more books without expansion cards
- way better ui - the one of the 500 is cr*p
- faster page turns - I do read a lot and fast
- integrated light - this more of an added bonus, than a real reason
- better pdf-support - I donīt read that many of them, but if I do it turns into a major task to be able to read them properly
But the reports on here haven`t exactly been absolutely positive.
Especially glare and contrast seem to be a bit on the bad side, when compared to the 505. But how about the 500? Is the screen better or worse?
I found a side by side pic on
http://www.mobiletechreview.com/gadg...er-PRS-700.htm. But there it could be lighting or anything that makes the 700 look like it has a lot less contrast. It donīt trust pics all the way and would rather trust the mobileread-users.
Itīs the only thing holding me back... so I would appreciate it, if anyone could confirm or dispell my doubts.
Thanks.
