Been researching the Sony's for a couple of weeks now. Liked the 505 but liked the speed and touchscreen of the 700. Borders had them both on display and the 700 was priced at $349 (505 was $299). Was really going towards the 700 because of the added features and the $50 difference. I went to Borders again today to see how the readers worked with my pdf files (wasn't go to buy one if it didn't do what I wanted). I was testing them out when the salesman asked if I needed help. I said no but asked if I got the email about the sale price. I said no and he asked if I as a Borders Reward member - yes. He said I should have got one. I told him I never received it. He couldn't print it out but hand route the coupon code out for me. I decided I would get one ($150 difference) and he went to get me one. My luck, they were out. 3 others stores were out but he was told one store had a bunch of them. He called and I got lucky to reserve the last one - these things are flying out the door at $200! Drove 45 minutes, bought it and am just starting to play with it.
BTW - Staples will have the 505 starting tomorrow, 6/14, $269. Not $200 but still a good deal.
