For now, I'm just going to pretend that you didn't say that
If it is truly comparable in its slowness (and the videos I've seen tend to suggest otherwise, hence I'm stilling holding out hope) then the 700 will be a no-go for me as well. I don't just read fiction and such, but technical docs. There's a lot of page turning, back and forth, searching, bookmarking, flipping around, etc... The speed of the 505 that I saw would make me scream. The book I was checking out in the store was about 50 pages long and was a stock book that Sony put on there (i.e. you'd think they'd choose something optimal).
But I'll have to wait until I can get my hands on that thing to find out, unless someone is willing to post a side-by-side video like some of the things I've seen on youtube. You know... put the same book on both, and then do the same operations on both to see what the usability's like. That would be most cool.
Cheers!
