I would love to have the dictionary support, and freehand annotation ability, but perhaps we can hope for a firmware update for the 700. Well, we can dream anyway.

I am very interested in the Daily edition though (2121). I am hoping there will be a good option for lighting on that model! (yeah, I know, "get a lamp, Donnageddon!")
While I am sure there are many PRS-700 fans out there, I wouldn't necessarily call the PRS-600 a downgrade (unless you are going by the number on the name of the device of course ) Unfortunately my experience with it bugged me BIGTIME in 2 ways...the readability of the screen, both fixed on the PRS-600. I guess the answer was the layer for the light was a dealbreaker for many. But don't get me wrong.....the PRS-700 got Sony pointed in the right direction, it is a solid device, they just needed to tweak a few things to get it better suited for those that had a hard time with it.

Definitely happy you guys are happy....the way I look at it, we are all in this together. The more success Sony has with ALL of these Readers, the better the devices, software, and content will be for us all
