I intend to test it tonight and read several hours with light at max and not charge it to see how it holds. The User Guide specifies 7500 continuous page turns without light and 4 hours with bright light, 8 hours with standard light

Today I spent about 2 hours at Borders and I mostly read from the 700 but I went to compare it once more with the 505 displayed and again I do not understand how anyone can claim the 505 is fast compared with the 700. Nicer, slimmer, maybe, but fast??- to me there is a huge, huge difference in speeds. Maybe the display unit was not in the best shape, but it took forever to turn pages, move around and so on. Comparing with the almost instantaneous response of the 700 is like night and day...
Do you have the 505 as well? How do you feel about the 700's screen?
Do you like it so far?
