Could one of you lucky/brave 700-owning folks please try loading a large LRF ebook using Calibre and then time opening it? And also time changing font sizes? It'd be particularly spiffy if you used something either from the Baen Free Library or that is available for download here at MobileRead.

I want to compare the load time and font-size-change time with the times I see on my PRS-500. That'd provide me with half the info I need to decide whether to upgrade. The second half of the info (screen quality and physical ergonomics) will require time with a 700 in person, so I'll be waiting until my local Borders has one on display.

Thanks in advance,

Xenophon
