Guess I'll have to wait for new technology and stick with my thinkpad tablet for now.

Yeah, you did great! You tried it and it didn't work for it's intended purpose and you returned it the next day! That keeps it simple and you can move on to something that works for you.
As I mentioned the first page, I agree the screen on 700 is too milky for me too, for me the prs-505 is such a cool gadget because it's small, turns on in 1/2 second and I can read anywhere, anytime, and has weeks of battery life. In your case if you do no pleasure reading or you don't have pdf's that are not in bookish format, then it would do you no good. But if at one time in your life you used to read regular books but haven't since internet and laptops, it is nice for me to go back to reading on the fly. I like it because all my books are on one tiny device, and I can enlarge the print , a problem I was having the last few years with reading regular books, they were harder to read. IF your only purpose is pdf tech stuff, then NO the SONY 505 is NO GO, and if you do no pleasure reading, NO GO. Just like I have tiny mp3 player for music and not CD player, I have netbook and 505 for tiny devices that allow me to read everything I need to read. Good luck in your search and I am sure more of these devices will be coming out in future like the 1000s , but not as much as the 1000s.
