Haven't posted in ages, but wanted to bring something up with iOS 11.2 if you haven't already updated.

That's the one thing that keeps me plugging away at 1800-2000 every day. The fear that if I miss a day, then I have to write twice as much.

I for one, would also have paid a higher price to get it in eBook format on the *real* release day. I read on my Sony PRS-505 and on my iPhone (Kindle books). I still read plain old dead-tree...

I'm 100% ebook these days, but I still admit that I haven't found any shopping experience that can match physically picking up and reading book jackets at a BN or Borders.

I have heard of people cracking the screen when they put it in the airplane seat in front of them and their knee hit it -- so I think localized pressure directly on the screen isn't a great idea.

Thanks for your review. I think if you are looking at the 700 and have had no prior experience with 500 or 505, it's probably something people would spring for. Having had the opportunity to...

I myself lined up my old 500, then the 505, and then the 700 at the store to play with the three. The 505 and 700 are MUCH whiter background than my old 500.

You might try your local library. I live on Phoenix and they have a digital library (requires a library card). I download tons of Adobe Digital Ebook PDF's to read -- new releases and all.
