Hm, for many, no e-ink screen is as "good" as the printed page, and for them to debate that fact is an exercise in futility
I have been reading on the 700.
When well lit, the screen is fine, and from my limited experience, reading for extensive periods is actually easier on my eyes, than reading a paperback (probably mostly because of the lighting and perfectly flat surface, but nevertheless....)
For me, personally, it is the small screen size, which is more disruptive to my enjoyment. I may get used to it, but for now, I don't like it.
Also, when I looked at the 505 in the store (twice,) I did not find any of the available font sizes enjoyable, while the 700 seemed perfect.
As I said before, I am not keeping my 700, because daytime visibility, and just as importantly, because of screen size.
I am just trying to convince myself, that the iLiad's poor battery life is not going to be a huge problem for me.
