Hello,
I got a question, at the B&H store site, the description for the product PRS-700 is Sony PRS-700BC PORTABLE READING SYSTEM(BLK). If I remember right, BLK means BULK. Does Bulk in this case means it comes without softcover and package???
Is there any other store besides B&H that ships international?

Cheers,
Andreas

If you look at the way they're selling the PRS-505, the word in parentheses is the color. I'd be willing to bet that BLK is shorthand for "black."

Jep.. I think you are right. Seems to be black.
Do you know other stores beside B&H that would ship internationally?
Thanks!

it looks like J & R Music World will do it. I've purchased from them in the past, and they're dependable.

it doesn't look like they will ship internationally (although they'll take your money from anywhere in the world. ).

Sorry. Like you noted, O saw that they'll take money from anywhere. I interpreted that as meaning they'd also ship product.

It is interesting that Sony still sell PRS-505 model on http://www.sonystyle.com website.
I think it will be good if they start offer upgrade from PRS-505 to PRS-700BC model for customers who already purchased PRS-505 some time ago. I think many people will be glad to upgrade it for reasonable price.

if memory serves, sony has said the 700 doesn't *replace* the 505 ; it's just the higher-end model.

Yes I know but it will be difficult to sell both models when price difference is $100 only.

"only" 100$ ? 100$ seems like a lot of money to me. i suppose everything is relative.

Will see. I guess they will drop the price for Sony 505 and after it this model will be discontinued the same way as Sony 500 model very soon.

I doubt they will be getting rid of the 505, considering the 700's screen is horrific, and I doubt it will be a huge seller.

It will be interesting to compare Sony 700 with iREX screen. I didn't find any topics that compare both touchscreen models yet.

that would be a very interesting comparison. however i believe they are different sorts of touchscreen ; the sony screen can take input from a finger or stylus, but the iliad, if i've understood correctly, requires a special wacom "pen". perhaps this allows them to use a less intrusive screen, and the comparison might be a little like apples to oranges.

i'm still curious to know how much of the quality loss on the sony display is due to the touchscreen, and how much to the lighting system.
