For me when you look at the first video the contrast is IMO pretty good. especially when he pics up then 600 and looks at the screen closely. and some photos I saw together with the 700 shows a brighter screen. However, when compared together with 505 there is a big difference. but then again, 505 screen is simply beautiful. in all fairness I was expecting it not to be as good.

the glare is the one I am not sure about. I still cant tell how bad it is. It is also much more difficult to record true glare on video as I suspect on video it gets more exaggerated. this will be my first reader so not sure how much problem it will be for me. but I know I hated glare on my computer and hence the reason why I have had mat screen macbook and macbook pro. I hate the fact that they now make shiny screens. I never understood why apple changed the screens..
btw will mobileread attend the sony announcement tomorrow?
