I think it's all up to what you are comfortable with. For me, the 505 is way too slow, but I rarely read a book page after page. I tend to speed read a whole page/screen at least on the 770 or on the 700 and turn page, and sometimes things happen in the book that seem strange, so I turn back see if I missed something or just that's the way the book is, so I tend to flip a lot of pages back and forth
I also move a lot between books - when a book hooks me, yes I tend to finish it, but usually I have maybe 10 started books - both p and e - and I read from at least 3-4 until I decide which I finish.
This is why speed is essential for me and the 505 just does not cut it. I am pretty happy with my 770, just that it's getting old and it feels a bit. But with the 700 I am really very happy.
I already finished 2 novels on the 700, a 320 and a 672 page one print equivalent, and to my surprise I read most of the 672 page one in the original pdf review arc I received from the publishers rather than in the - decent - lrf obtained from extracting text, since the pdf reflowed nicely in M size and was very readable on the 700 even vertically at full page
I have 3 *must read - waited impatiently for them since previous series books* print books and at least 2 more are coming, and I cannot let the 700 aside for now to read those, so I am moving to another 2 novels on it for now
