A summary from Sony's own comparison table in Japanese:
(http://www.walkman.sony.co.jp/prod/md_rec/kino.html)
All 3 are compatible with MDLP.
The E700 is functionally identical to the E900, but doesn't have magnesium
alloy casing.

E500 - 76g / 101g
E700 - 85g / 110g
E900 - 58g / 83 g

E500 - 77 by 19 by 81mm
E700 - 80.5 by 15 by 75mm
E900 - 79.5 by 14 by 72mm
The E500 comes with Ni-Cd rechargeable battery (NC-6WM, 600mAh); its
supplied charger takes 3 hours to do a full charge.
The other two has Ni-MH (NH-14WM), but their chargers only take 1.5 hours to
fully charge the battery.
Playback on rechargeable battery only (SP/LP2/LP4):
E500 - 14/16/18 hours
E900 and E700 - 29/33/37 hours
All 3 have the same power consumption, though: they all achieve 42/49/58
hours on an AA alkaline battery.
the E500 doesn't have:
- personal disc memory

The E500's remote display is not backlit.
However, according to a Japanese message board: a Sony remote that has
backlight will light up when plugged into the E500.
