The contrast looks alot better, but the refresh rate actually looks slower!

Thanks for the shocked giggle this movie stomped from my chest. Most ridiculous review of any product ever.

Isn't it the same screen in a different casing? There's just a couple of e-ink versions and their major difference is the screen dimension.. Contrast and page-loading is fully determined by the hardware and software of the device itself.. refresh rate is also bottle-necked by the screen, not the device itself

To me the 505 has a clearly better contrast! The background is a little bit lighter and the color a little bit darker. The difference is not huge, though.

Is it just me or is the 500 a bit quicker once the book has loaded? The 505 is quicker to load the book (from RAM or card?).

Also looks like the 500 screen is a bit 'whiter'.

There is no significant difference between them.

Go to project gutenburg 20,000+ totally free books,all out of copyright. A lot of them now in e-pub format. If you have already downloaded them just drag and drop onto the Sony .

Why don't they release the prs 770 in the UK. I wont buy a 505 when I know the 700 touch screen is out there.

Come on Sony get your finger out...
