Do not buy a 700 without comparing it in person with the 505. You will buy the 505, I'll bet. I actually bought one of each, went home & tried them both out, and almost immediately returned the 700 based solely on the inferior screen. The fonts were fuzzy, and the screen reflected glare. It's simply unacceptable for long term reading.
As for the Sonys vs. the K2, the Sonys seem to be better constructed, with more attention to detail, than the K2. I find the K2 more comfortable to hold.
I have a 505, and a K2, and use the K2 the most. But if the 505 were the wireless Amazon device, and the K2 was the non-wireless Sony device, I'd use the 505 the most. It's the wireless shopping and transfer of files, and the syncing with my iPhone, that makes the difference for me.
