Just to make sure.

When you go to shop and you bring LRF files on SD card and go through process of changing font size, you should know if you do it at home and use Sony's eBook Library software to upload LRF ebooks to your reader, the software will do the paginating, so it doesn't matter whether you have 505 or 700, it will take 1 second to shift from one font size to the next. Because you going to use SD card fcreated at home, the readers will have to do the job of paginating and I am sure 700 will be a lot faster. Although it doesn't really matter because it does this job only one time, then remembers the properties of the ebook.

700 has 5 font sizes. I would suggest to create at least 2 LRF files with smaller base font than usual. If I am not mistaken, the general consensus is that base font size is 10. If you test ebook with base font size of 10, then when you move to XXL, you might end up with 2 words per line, and just a few lines on a screen. In order to better appreciate two new additional sizes XL & XXL, I would suggest to create 2 LRF files specifically for 700. One with base font 8, and one with base font 9.

Good luck!
