I replaced my 505 with a 650 almost entirely over the library-book Epub/PDF conflict, otherwise it was fine.
I don't need the touchscreen for page turning and such. However, I read a lot of nonfiction, with footnotes, so the "tap-note, tap-back" has been quite useful. Moreover, I'm visual, so looking through the choices by thumbnail works better for me than going through screens of lists to select a book.
