I thought you were going to scan your whole Kindle or something so I could see how it looks on the device itself. Maybe I misunderstood.

but I'm beginning to feel you should go with the 700 so that there is no conversion and the layout will be the same.
I don't know. I can't decide. I mean, I'm buying the thing to read - and read a lot. So I would hope I would get the best contrast and stuff.

I did but I cropped the picutres down to the screen only so as not to waste bandwidth. Since you know what Kindle looks like, I didn't think you needed to see my Kindle in it's skin over and over. I throw one at you just as a sample.

You really need to get hold of an e-ink device and play with it. Your eyes will tell you more than anything.

Ah, alright. Thanks.

I tried the Sony PRS-700 in the store, but it was locked down so I didn't really get to play around with it. Kindle 2, of course, isn't available in stores.

Hey, daffy4u, if you got the time today, do you think you could try scanning a scanned-PDF for me so I can see how it looks?

I can't do it until maybe Monday. I could take the PDF and send it to Amazon but I can't post any images (especially scans) for the next couple of days.
