I'm 95% ready to sell my PRS-505 on eBay and get a PRS-600. I'm still not sure about the screen clarity and contrast; was the side-lighting the main reason the PRS-700 had poorer visibility than the PRS-505? Now that the PRS-600 dropped the lighting, I'm wondering how much the touchscreen will impact viewing the screen.

From the looks of the caparison matrix stickied on the forums, the PRS-700 is the only reader currently for sale that has this type of touchscreen (stylus and finger). Are there any readers that support this kind of touch and that don't have any side-lighting so we can look at their reviews?
