@Sonist. Sounds like you've gotten your 700.
".. a short 5 hours.."

That's some serious reading.
How was the reading experience. Did you use the buttons or the touch screen to change pages?
Some folks here are concerned about the eye strain how did you feel after reading 5 hours?
@ ewiplayer
It's hard to gauge speed from the demo files since they are optimized for the devices. (same thing applies to buying audio/video devices always bring your own media)
That is partly why I loaded my SD card to the demoed PRS-700 and page turned books I was familiar with on my 505.
The speed was noticeable. The SD Card loaded faster twice the speed. Books paged turned faster. And the PDF experience was much better, esp. with text reflow.
