i swear, the people writing these articles could do better just by spending an hour at mobileread than whatever it is they're doing - or not doing.

The 700 has a six-inch screen, just like the Kindle. The device is smaller because it doesn't have the keyboard; but the screen's the same size. I believe it's even the same screen. Personally I think they should have focused on the K2 and 505 as the two most easily available E-Ink readers in the US market.
I also thought the author showed his ignorance (or lack of understanding) when he complained about Fictionwise making him re-enter his name and CC number without mentioning that was part of the eReader DRM scheme, rather than simply calling it clunkiness on Fictionwise's part.
