thanks for the hug.
i'm taking all i can get today.
i don't like the sidelight at all, but then i don't like lit screens for reading, regardless the direction the light comes from. so i turned it on to look at it a few seconds, but that is all. i don't use it to read. looking at igorsk's photos of the dismantled 700 (he posted a thread) the top (touch) screen seems to be a bit smoky coloured ; i don't know whether this is inevitable. but also there is a space between that screen and the eink. i think both of those are problematic. however, having said that, the screen is still perfectly good to read. i think it suffers from side-by-side comparison with the 505 / cybook, but who reads with two liseuses in front of them ? if you just look at it alone, objectively, it's quite acceptable.

as for mobi, I don't care one way or the other, except that most books are available in mobi and I am terrible in waiting...

hm, more than 92 ? that's not very many. i'll have to pay attention to how many i put on there and see if i notice some trouble. the 700 has a faster processor and more memory so perhaps it will handle larger collections better. let's hope !
i almost had a heart attack too this afternoon, i know what you mean.
for the mobi files... when i buy a drm book i try to buy it in lit and then convert it, usually commercial books are available in that format as well, and lit books have a better structure for archiving / formatting / conversion purposes. only once or twice i've found a book i really wanted which was only available in mobi, but anyway, mobi can be converted too.
