And the fact that you don't really need to touch the screen is true, even the lightest of touches works like a dream , here's another video where you can see the reviewer making page turns by lightly brushing her scarf on the screen

Thanks everyone, this information and links really explained it all.

So do you still have to use Calibre to make larger fonts like I have to with the 505? The large size isn't large enough on the Sony 505. The video said you have 6 size options on the 650. Are they sufficient for you?
