Well I am glad you like it but to say there is something wrong with other's eyesight if they had trouble reading on the 700??

I have 20/20 vision. I have the 505 and I am always also reading a paperback. The screen is considerably dimmer than the 505 and that extra layer for the touchscreen clearly causes it not to be as sharp. I personally don't want to see my reflection and lights and other things glaring at me while I try to read. It destroys the reading experience for me. e-ink should be about emulating a paper book rather than feel like I am reading off a dimly lit computer monitor.

I am glad you like your purchase, but those of use who do not like it don't need to be all but told there is something wrong with our eyesight!
