In fact, since your post made me think about this more, I am now quite convinced that the difference in the 700 and 505 that the original photos show is real and not an artificial one. |

Also you counter argument only further proves my point as you admit the problem is shifted to the background. Where again the naked eye sees the scene without any image loss. Well unfortunately I could not help you understand. My fault really, I just don't feel like getting into the science behind optics and CCDs. It's not an easy topic and unless you have a background in it, justice could not be done in a few posts. Kind Regards, =X= |

There is also a poster who has said that what he saw with his eyes regarding the differences looked exactly like what he sees in the photos that have been posted. Last edited by Seabound; 11-08-2008 at 11:54 PM. |

The PRS 700 is comparable to the 500 in screen quality, maybe slightly better, but not as crisp as the 505, however it is so fast, has ergonomics that leave the 500/505 in the dust, and has decent to good integrated lighting that for me it was the first e-ink device I really liked and I bought it on the spot the moment I found it was available in my local Sony store. |

(according to mr ebook matrix) along with an hardware Java-acceleration engine (Jazelle) so I wouldn't be surprised if sony realeased new features for the 700 only. |

This is what the rep told me. He could be exaggerating, but his point was clear, the 700 has signifigantly rwduced battery life because of the touchscreen and lights

Last night I read about 1 hr+ with the light at max and turned it off when I went to bed and this morning it still had 4 bars. After I recharged it today, I read 3 hours+ without charging it - without light by and large - and it still shows 5 bars.
I intend to test it tonight and read several hours with light at max and not charge it to see how it holds. The User Guide specifies 7500 continuous page turns without light and 4 hours with bright light, 8 hours with standard light Today I spent about 2 hours at Borders and I mostly read from the 700 but I went to compare it once more with the 505 displayed and again I do not understand how anyone can claim the 505 is fast compared with the 700. Nicer, slimmer, maybe, but fast??- to me there is a huge, huge difference in speeds. Maybe the display unit was not in the best shape, but it took forever to turn pages, move around and so on. Comparing with the almost instantaneous response of the 700 is like night and day... |
