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

Another fail from Sony.

@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.

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

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.

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.

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...

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

[alildevil]

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

[Fer860]

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