I am exactly the opposite.
The 505 is such a slow poke for me - not only in turning pages which is bad as it is when you read fast - but in moving between books, moving back and forth - in ergonomics - once you use the buttons on the 700 you wonder how you could use those small buttons on the 505, leaving aside touch which I love
Then 505 is without integrated light which I started loving more and more on my 700 once I got used to its slightly eerie feeling, and that is quite important for me.
I would not buy the 505 unless almost free, while I was willing to spend 400+tax+2 year plan on the 700 on sight, and while the first time I saw it in the store it was not available, the second time it was and I bought it...
So think what is important. If you are a fast reader and read a lot, the slowness of the 505 may annoy you a lot.
