I agree. I couldn't believe the screen was as bad as people say, so I spent an hour driving to the SF Sony store and looked at the 505 and 700 side by side. I was surprised -- it IS as bad as people in this forum say. It's too bad, because the 700 is a nice machine, with its built-in light and 5 different text sizes. Page turns are about the same as the 505 as far as I could see, but it is much faster when you want to go from reading a book to the list of installed books. If they'd keep the 505 form (without the touch-sensitive screen) and add the faster processor and the software, I'd buy it, but the present 700 screen nullifies any good points the new reader may have.
