- Yes, I immediately noted that the screen has more glare from the plastic screen over the glass.
- I believe the 505 has better contrast
- The speed of the PRS-600 (page flips, etc) is excellent. Notably faster than the 505.
- Annotations work as you would expect, haven't tried moving them back to the PC/MAC

On the whole, it's not worth changing from the 505 unless annotations are compelling. If there's not already a host of additional comments I'll post more comparisons and some pictures of both side-by-side later tonight.

Contrast is comparable, perhaps a bit lighter.

The casing and finish are quite nice. There is a film over the metal back, not sure if it is intended to be permanent or peel off - looks fairly robust.
Any review/previews would be great. especially pics! so far the other review is a hands on experience at the store on demo products. so if you already have it home you can give us a detailed review (or even a short video clip!!) I know I'm asking too much but really curious!
How bad is the glare issue. I think I can live with less clarity but glare is another problem..
btw, what color did you get?
