the 505 is the clearest screen on the market, the 700 is dark, but its no worse that a 500 screen.

but, if you don't need the features on the 700, Annotation/search, and the Side lights for reading in dark places, get the 505.

in a dark room the 700 wins.
in a dusky room, the 700 needs the light on, while the 505 is perfectly readable.
in a bright room, the 505 is perfectly readable and the 700 is fine.
In sun, the 505 is a little too bright, the 700 is perfect

also. if you live in the US. I highly Recommend the kindle.
