Without getting into a discussion about the screen contrast, the 700 UI, including the touchscreen, are spot on. Certainly more intuitive than either the Kindle, or the 505. If the screen was 8" and with good daytime readability, I'd be a happy camper. |

In the five days I've had my 700, and the many times I've had it hooked up to my computer to add books, organize categories, etc., it has never failed to disconnect properly, leaving my organization intact.
Whether it's the new library software or the new interface in the 700, it's great. With my 500 I gave up on collections because about every other time I disconnected from the library software it wouldn't release properly and either it would simply discard my bookmarks and collections or I would have to do a reset. With the 700, same computer, same cables, no problems at all (so far, knock on wood). And after much reading in all kinds of light I'm still happy with it and haven't gone blind yet. |

I don't know where they're stored, but on my 500 I'd often end up with no bookmarks, and with the last-page-read forgotten in any/all books I'd started.
So far it hasn't happened at all with the 700. |

Actually, I occasionally have this problem with my PRS 505 with the recent firmware. So I suspect it may be a hardware problem.

To me the contrast and crispness on the 700 was worse than the the 505 with the lightwedge cover in place. (For what it's worth, I love the lightwedge cover, but I hate the little scratches and mars that it is prone to...)
