Hi Mos,
nice to see some fellow Germans in here, viel Spaß im Forum! Great video review
I have posted a
review comparing the Sony Reader 505 and 700 quite some time ago and have to comment on your statement below:

People exaggarating about this thing.

Believe me, I'd love to buy the Sony 700 BUT if you have ever used the Sony 505 it simply is not possible. During my last stay in Vegas I have again played with it for maybe an hour (thank you Sony Style in the Forum shops) and I have to admit I love the speed, the touchscreen, the inbuilt lighting but this all does not make up for the worse screen. The problem reminds me of Apple - have you ever compared an old matte iMac screen with one of the new shiny, glossy ones? A nightmare.
Again, i can only advise all fellow readers to simply check both devices and then make their decision. For me the 700 is a NoNo because i cannot always provide the best possible lighting conditions - it is true, if you have a lot of natural light the difference is not that big but i cannot always guarantee that.
Also, there is an obvious lack in contrast - I have only found one nice image here in the forum comparing the screens alongside, have a
look
My biggest hope is that Sonys next device combines the great screen of the 505 with the new features the 700 has introduced.
lets wait and see...
Happy reading
