It's quite a bit lighter for one thing; my 505 feels like a brick in comparison; the page turns are faster (smoother).
I didn't have my 505 all that long before getting a 650, but I recall that the "go to page" process of entering the numbers using the side buttons often didn't "take" well (correctly), so that I'd end of entering page 42 instead of the intended 142, etc. On the 650 it's a bit easier via stylus tapping the pop-up numeric keyboard. The 650 screen is less ... murky, though the 505 wasn't terrible. There's a dictionary feature - you tap on the unknown word and up pops the dictionary entry at the bottom of the screen. I've read more than one book that's formatted so that I can tap on a footnote, be taken to the note, and tap back to where I was reading. I don't think the 505 does that?
Most Best Buys have a 650 demo in stock so you can see much of the difference for yourself.
