so, i went ahead w/ the swap.
yes...the 700's display is crippled by the touch screen. the 5 series' screen is just absolutely perfect for reading. the 7 series...well, crippled it is.
i went ahead w/ the swap anyway. i can now comfortably peruse my pdfs. the gui is nice. the processor speed is able to handle it all really well. i'm happy w/ it.
the light...it's not perfect. but, i'll tell you...it's certainly VERY nice to read to as my wife is falling asleep.
the e-ink display on the 7 is actually quite nice. rather quite like the 5 series. however, we can't see it clearly b/c of the touch display above that. the touch screen is the culprit as we have all found out. but, i've come to love my 700.
it reads like a charm. books, pdfs. whatever i've thrown at it.
it sounds really great, too. leave it to sony to make sure that a sony product sounds suitable. hey, the had the walkman for goodness sake!
the 700 has made me happy. both the 5 and 7 series have flaws. you get what you get.
hopefully, the 7 will get a nice firmware upgrade for a couple things...then, we're off the races!
