I had the PRS 505, but when it developed a technical problem (USB transfers stopped working), I got a refund, added a bit to it, and purchased the PRS 700. What a disappointment. For the sake of a touchscreen, the PRS 700 has sacrificed so much clarity that the text is almost unreadable, at least for me. It was like trying to read through a milky fog. As much as I wanted to stay "loyal" to Sony, I just sent the 700 back and jumped the fence and ordered the Kindle 2, which I have heard/read has nice sharp text.
