Nice review, the prs700 has made some improvements. Now it has a touchscreen, a sidelight and a cleaner button interface. Especially the cleaner button interface is much better than before. I have also found a nice review of the sony prs=700 reader

Yes, you are correct. I still don’t understand why Amazon took the expansion slots away when they rolled out the second generation model…arggg.

The other thing I have noticed is the Sony has card reading /expansion slots.. The Kindle doesn’t. It you have a large elibrary the card slots will save you the headache of having to constantly connect to a computer to swap files.

Unfortunately, the early reviews of the new Sony PRS-600 (and PRS-300) aren’t that much better regarding the screen issue. You can read my post about it here:

I’ve been a Sony Reader user since the Sony PRS-505 was released and then upgraded to the PRS-700 later. I would have loved to try a Kindle but apparently there are issues with owning a Kindle outside the US and I’m based in Italy. I agree that the PRS-700′s weak contrast makes reading a bit strained; the 505 fares better in this regard. Hopefully, they’ve corrected this “glaring” (pun intended) error in the soon-to-be-released models.
