Differences between the PRS-700 and PRS-505 Sony R...

[dtz1000]

Contrast is much better on the prs-505 than on the prs-700.

Another fail from Sony.

Poor sony. That shit looks cheap and out dated. Come on sony give me somthing better then the ipad.  Make your reader on 3d or somthing.

@masterlee123 its out dated bc it was the new thing two years ago...

I think that I'll just still stickin' to the foxit eslick.. the best ereader by far!

As far as I can see, the 505 has much better contrast.

[reddie74]

seems to be thicker as the 505... i dont need build in light, an ordinary book even doesnt have it, and i think it will have less battery time... touchscreens are a nice idea, but i dont like to read through my own fingerprints... i prefer the 505...

[alildevil]

it does not have a built in backlight, it has duel side screen lighting.

What about the differences in screen? The 505 is better, don't you think? But no touchscreen... Waiting for the PRS 800something?

I recently went to a sony style store to look at the 700 next to the 505 and yes the screen on the 505 is much better IMO. (I have the 505). The 700 has a horrible glare on the screen which makes it difficult if not distracting to use. Nice to have a built in light, touch screen cool, but those do not make much difference if you have to battle a glare constantly.

[Fer860]

Exactly. So Sony doesn't make a lot of progress. One step for Sony is a stumble for mankind.

[pinkcat1305]

funny. maybe the next one will be better. maybe...

@Fer860 Few people seem to object to the fact that the touch technology appears to require a more reflective screen - and so becomes illegible in bright light - as when outside in the sun!! Sony's adverts regarding reading in sunlight do not however bother to differentiate - claim 505 same as 700 - which it just isn't.
