Great googley moogley! That looks like a russified version of the 700 -- already! I wonder if this means that they're planning to release it there. And if they're not ... how the red and white polka-dotted blue blazes did they get ahold of one to russify!?!?!?

Shhhh.. our russian friends have their methods...

Seriously, though, it looks like it was shot in a store, what with the security cables and the stands... Maybe a Sony Style store that got their supply early. As to the russian text, it could be an embedded epub or a pdf, or of course - a hacked PRS700

It looks like the PRS-700's lighting system can use improvement.

The thing that makes me think it's the latter is that some of the shots look like a manual. Of course someone could have xlated the manual and made a PDF of that I suppose.

I wouldn't put too much store in that, actually, just like e-ink itself, wedgelights never seem to photograph very well: they always seem to look better in person than in pixels.

Thanks for the link.

Do wish they'd put up some photos without that sidelight on so I can see that you can turn the light off and that the screen then looks identical to the 505

You might be right. Always better to see it in person. I hope they go on display at Borders and Target soon.

Easy and simple.
Create a pdf file in Azbuka and load it up.
This has worked since "good ole" PRS-500 days.

One point to note is that the graphics in the document are of the 505, so I expect that all it's actually showing is that it can display East-European fonts in a PDF...

That was my reaction as well, I thought the internal light looked god awful. Hopefully you wont notice the same thing IRL. Not that I plan on getting a PRS-700, but anyway

Russian text is all PDFs. The Russian version of manual was made by people from the-ebook.org forums.
