No it's not. I'm in the same boat as you, and want to read all of those wonderful PDFs that I have on architecture, design, and programming languages. But I'm in the minority. Most people couldn't give two shakes about that stuff - they're only interested in reading the same type of fiction books they read today, but on an eReader.
I couldn't care less that my bicycle weighs more than one pound... I don't compete in triathalons... I ride around the neighbourhood. What I do care about is that in order to get that bike that weighs one pound, I have to have a seat that is in serious danger of entering my butthole.
If you never use any of the features of the 700 that don't exist on the 505, you're pretty pissed off about the fact that you sacrificed screen contrast... and I can totally understand that. Should a person be a rabid fanatic about it? No...
But I can understand it.
