Right now I really think not to buy it, but instead, to buy the 505 which is 35% cheaper for me than the 700.

One question, is switching pages on a 505 slow? How long does it take in average?
I am not a fan of LCDs, but have not seen any eInk devices in my life before.

There is no SonyStyle store in Germany (where I live) and that's the reason why I cannot compare and check for myself.. but I think, under this condition, I would prefere a good screen to an inferior one...
Heh, no offense was taken, and like you said, I am probrably one of the more vocal members on the forum about this issue. I just want people to know what they are getting, before they buy, so they can make an educated decision on what reader suits them best.

Take me for instance: I was about to purchase a 700 on the sonystyle site, but because of some comments on here, I decided to look at it first in the Sony Store. I'm glad I did, because the 700 was not for me, and I now have a 505 on the way.
