Sure - hinged black cover that can be folded back for one handed reading.

Regarding slowness - even the normal page turning in the 505 is slow in my opinion in the sense that is noticeable and pulls you away from the book train of thoughts. When I read a paper book and turn a page I do not have time to be distracted from the book. Similarly with the 770, iTouch, or the 700, but on the 500 and from my tries 505 it's just too distracting and unbearable over time - I tested the 505 10 times easily in stores the past year since I *really* wanted an eink.

Reading a page, or maybe for a slower reader it may not be a big deal, but I read almost 200 novels this year plus rereads, short stories and the 505 would just not do.

I thought about the Kindle once in a while, but since I could not test it, I never considered it seriously - leaving aside that I would implicitly pay for its wireless capability which would be mostly useless to me
