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.

Exactly. I don't know how anyone could say that the 700's screen is acceptable. I really can't believe that Sony would screw this up. I wonder if they went with an inferior screen believing that people would just use the built-in light? I would love to see some specs because they seem like completely different screens to me.
