I've tried the 700 in the store, and I didn't find a problem with the page-turn buttons... in fact, once I tried the "finger-slide" page turn method, I never used the page-turn buttons. The ergonomics work for me.
Pretty much the only thing I agree with Forbes on, is the too-high price of the 700. Bring it down to $300 or below, and I'll consider it. Bring it down to $200 and I wouldn't think twice... I'd be on it like white on rice.
Lacking wireless book access is really no big deal... being able to connect, once you get home (or, potentially, at a bookstore while shopping) would work fine for me. And the Sony handles more formats, so although the Sony bookstore may not match Amazon, adding the catalogs of other e-book stores makes up for it.
Bottom line, I'll be watching it, but not seriously until after the second half of '09 at the earliest, I'm sure.
