Well after his comment on people whose spouses/partners don't sleep well with the light on as being "more oppressive domestic situations" I realized that anything else he says is hyperbole. I don't view the fact that my wife sleeps better in a darkened room as being an oppressive domestic situation. And that doesn't even take into account that I enjoy best reading in an otherwise darkened room, having only my reading material illuminated.
The pictures are the pictures -- I could take unflattering pictures of anything if I wanted. And none of us who like the 700 have tried to say that the screen is sharper or clearer than the 505 or the Kindle -- but those last comments about wondering whether anybody bothered to read a book on the device before actually manufacturing them just makes me wonder whether he tried to read a book on it or simply saw that it was different from his favored devices and therefore garbage to begin with.
I wonder how he would have liked it if he had never seen a 505 or a Kindle.
In any event, those of us who enjoy reading on the 700 are going to continue to do so and those whose main reaction is "But it isn't a 505!" are going to continue not to like the 700.
I'm certainly not trying to change anybody whose mind is already made up, but merely to present an opposing point of view so that those who are trying to do research can realize that the device isn't an unreadable failure, but rather, in the opinion of a growing number of members of this forum an excellent (even if not perfect) device which we enjoy reading on.
