Great question! Compared to the EZ reader, things I like (so far):
1) Included light !
2) Form - Smaller and easier to hold and much more solid feel
3) Feels lighter (might be my imagination)
4) Touch screen - Esp gesture page turns!
5) Speed of screen refresh (seems a little faster to me)
6) More intuative interface with touch screen

Things I don't like:

1) No user changable fonts
2) Limited formats
3) Has to be said - contrast isn't quite as good (but still passable)
4) Cover is a little flimsy
5) Propritory AC adaptor needed to read AND charge (USB locks out reading)
6) No clock without hacking

Admittedly its only been a few hours since I got it, so we will see, I guess....

Thanks to the MR community who provided me with the opportunity to purchase the 700 second hand - and gave me the advice to make a very sound decision!

And of course, Thank you to all of you who have welcomed me into the 'new' world of Sony PRS'!
