In less than 6 mos. I've purchased the 505, 700 & the 600. Now that I have all 3 at the ready, I have to say, after using them all, the one that I tend to "go to" most is the 700.

The 505 by far has the sharpest screen and I LOVE the dictionary support on the 600, which is why I bought it, but I read almost exclusively at night and that's where soft room lighting and the built in reading light makes the 700 my favorite.

At first I wasn't too thrilled about how the 700's side lights throw light onto the words. In portrait mode my eyes feel like they keep adjusting to light, dark then light again on each line, but in landscape mode it's perfect. I have also discovered that I prefer reading in landscape mode on all of my readers.

So, after all is said and done, if I could just have dictionary support on my 700 I would say for me and my reading style, it serves me perfectly.
