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 am very happy with my 700, too. Speed is terrific, the finger-swipe page turn is terrific, the built-in light is wonderful (no heavy add-on light to worry about!) the UI is fast and easy, the ability of the unit to cope easily with a huge library, including a Memory Stick Pro Duo, is unbelievable.
And I have no discomfort reading the screen at all -- I was practically crapping my pants before it arrived, with all the negative reactions to the screen I had read about, thinking I had foolishly ordered too quickly.
I was sure wrong, and I am delighted with the 700 and wonder how poor people's eyesight must be if they can't read easily on it.
