Hi all,

Still on the fence about the 505 vs 700. Like many others I was planning on the 700, but am now having doubts. I'll probably go for a 505 and acl1 combo but I want to test the 700 in-store before laying down the cash. So my question: if I want to bring an sd card with some books to test performance what should I bring? Long books? Specific formats that are particularly taxing?And what should I test: page turn comparison times... Indexing?.... Jumping around in large page increments? Is there a book on the MR ebook upload page that usually makes ebook readers weep e-ink tears? I'd appreciate any guidance as I prepare for the Nov 24 prs700 release here in Toronto. Thanks!
