Obviously the BE has the better screen, but how do the two readers compare in day to day use.

Knowing what you know now, which reader would you buy if you could only afford one?
Many thanks - Rufus.

From a use standpoint the Sony is way ahead in most areas. It's much, much faster, has search, supports newer formats, much better battery life, instant on etc. From purely a screen standpoint the iLiad is by far better. It's brighter and much sharper. If you never used the iLiad you would probably be fine with the 700, but if you compare the two you would probably never be comfortable reading on the 700.
