The 700 is a much more of one, and probably wouldn’t have come out in the US if it wasn’t for the success of the Kindle. The Kindle ignited people’s interest in e-readers more than Sony ever did, and now that people are seriously considering e-readers, Sony has to have their hand in that pie too.

The PR-500 is an obviously evolution of the Libretto, which came out (in Japan only) a good two or three years ago, certainly well before the Kindle was even announced.
