Hey Folks,

I have been handle the both for, at least, a week for now and I have some point to share about it:

1. PRS-700 Glaring

It is totally true, sometimes it is so annoying that I had to turn the internal "light" on, what drain battery really fast.

2. Contrast adjustment:

Those equipment use eink paper, and those model eink version is only capable to handle 8 contrast, what means that there is no contrast adjustment, because of the physical architecture of the eink screen.

3. What is good on the PRS-700

The best thing about the PRS-700, in dispite of the glare problem, is the search property witch have made it quite efficient, the note and mark capability that have made it reliable to help manage your own knowledge, the touch screen made it quite easy to use, and there is much more magnify scale the the previous version PRS-505.

4. What is good on the PRS-505

The real eink screen, what made it quite reliable to ready it even at a sunny day.

There is the both side of the coins about both hardwares, I love the both, but I will not deny the fact that sometimes the PRS-700 take me out of my way...
