Hey everyone,
I have the PRS-505 and love it. I am strongly considering upgrading to the PRS-700. Is it worth it? How is the refresh rate compared to the PRS-505?

I mostly use my PRS-505 for reference guides and technical documents so the ability to flip between pages quickly is highly desired. Which of the following features are available (which are lacking in the 505):

-The ability to mark up documents (not just text annotate but actually mark up- like hand written math symbols and such)
-The ability to quickly switch between documents (instead of pressing menu 10,000,000 times)
-The ability to entitle your bookmarks instead of just having a reference to page number
- A page scroll bar
-The ability to reference multiple dictionaries such as mobiread dictionaries

Any of these?
I know the iRex Digital reader can do all of this for $859.00 but geez...
