The Sony Reader 700 is the much-anticipated next generation of the Sony lineup. It is actually a huge improvement over the 500 model, though not so much from the 505 model. Still, the touch screen capability might just make this the ebook reader that tops your list.
Most people are very curious about the touch screen on this device. Early reviews show that it is an excellent addition! It just seems so intuitive that an ebook reader should offer this functionality. Instead of having to deal with navigation buttons, you simply touch what you want. This should streamline your ebook reading experience tremendously.
The only problem here is that Sony has had to add the touch screen layer on top of their e-ink screen layer. This means that some of the contrast and "real book" feel that is noticeable on the PRS505 and Amazon Kindle are missing from this version. Still, that doesn't mean that books are totally unreadable, it is just a matter of getting used to it if you've enjoyed other screen types. It should be noted that some people are more in favor of the 505's screen, and choose that model over this one for that reason.
Another addition made to this reader is the backlit screen. This is a huge improvement for people who have been lamenting the fact that previous Sony Readers and the Amazon Kindle require a book light if you want to read them in the dark. That just isn't always possible for readers on the go! The Sony Reader PRS700 fixes that with their backlight.
There are some changes to things other than the screen as well. For example, you will enjoy a faster processor. This will make it easier for you to flip through the pages and navigate around the reader. Some users won't notice a huge difference, but if you are constantly using your reader it will be an improvement for you.
The internal memory of the device has been increased as well. This is a good thing if you don't like dealing with external SD cards. You can now store more items on a device that is the same size without buying anything extra. More books means more reading pleasure for you!
Other features you'd expect to be on the popular Sony Reader are present on this model as well. You can still highlight, mark pages, and easily navigate through your choices just like the previous models you've known and loved. The improvements on this model just might be enough to get you to step up to this version.
If you need a touch screen, back-light, faster processor, and more memory, the Sony Reader PRS700 is right for you. However, if screen contrast is your main concern you may want to stick with the PRS505. Either way, you can't go wrong when you get a device from the Sony Reader line.

Acan Barcode Scanner.. doesnt work?
Hi,
I've purchase a Acan Barcode Scanner in Ebay like this one (http://cgi.ebay.com/PS2-BARCODE-SCANNER-HANDHELD-PC-CCD-BAR-CODE-READER-US_W0QQitemZ120202409009QQihZ002QQcategoryZ14929QQssPageNameZWDVWQQrdZ1QQcmdZViewItem ) they say that is plug in play, no drivers need but the fact is that i can't read nothing..
The reader is PS2, i know that i have to connect to the Keyboard port, but it is ok if i have a USB Keyboard?
I mean, i connect the Barcode Reader to the PS2 Keyboard port but the Keyboard is USB...
The scanner beeps, but after i scan the settings, when i scan a "normal product" it shutdowns and neve beep again, the led is off...
Regards,
Cláudio
I have a PS/2 barcode scanner from another company. I also use USB keyboard.
I had to connect a (broken in my case) PS/2 keyboard to the other end of the barcode's "keyboard wedge" cable because it gone stuck after scanning the first barcode in the process of sending it to PC (bad cable termination probably).
Now I left the broken PS/2 keyboard connected in a corner and I continue using my USB keyboard. Windows will not complain and accept input from all three devices at the same time (USB keyboard, PS/2 keyboard, PS/2 barcode scanner). I suggest you to do the same if you can find a PS/2 keyboard.
Good luck, tell us if it works.
