Also, I forgot to point out that as far as we can tell, they've lowered the standards on the new devices so they can put them at a much lower price ($199 and $299 respectively).

As for the 700's screen, if you were unhappy with it, why did you keep it? We buy our readers for what they are and what they can do now. If we get new features later on, that's a bonus, but we cannot expect them. It was a pleasant surprise to get ePub on the 505. But when I bought it, I wasn't expecting another format to be added. |

My guess would be 300/600/900 line-up.

I think they'll get rid of the 505 and the 700, as much as I hate to say it. It would be too big of a product line to have all four out. As for a third potential new model, who knows? I think so though. |

The problem with the light is that it drains the battery too quickly (IMHO). And because the light made a gap between the screen and the touch layer, it made the screen less sharp and clear. I'm hoping the 600's screen is going to be good since the touch layer will be flush against the screen.

This is my guess, too.

- without sidelights and therefore improved screen clarity - with integrated dictionary function - with possibility to add scribble notes OR type them on the soft keyboard, and export notes to the pc as far as i'm concerned it's *better* than the 700. i will almost surely get one. not sure whether to keep the 700 or not. maybe i'll sell it to finance the 600... |
