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.
Yeah, I love the 700 in every other way, but I just can't get past the screen. The most important thing for me in a reader is how nice the screen is, and how easy it is to read.
