See, and here is where the personal preference comes in. I don't want an eReader that's merely "readable". I admit it. I'm totally spoiled. The screen on my 505 is *amazingly* readable, in way more situations. I totally agree that the new options & software & UI & speed of the 700 are phenomenal. But the quality of the screen is what's most important to me, and to me, the 700 is *barely* readable, and a downgrade for me.

But to each their own. I think we're all stating that these are *OUR* experiences and *OUR* opinions, and if it doesn't matter to you to get the best eInk screen available at this price-point, then it doesn't matter to you. It matters to me.
