Is that true? Slow enough that it would be not be possible to quickly skim over articles in the magazine? Would the more powerful Sony PRS-700 be a better bet? I think I would have preferred the 505's clearer screen and lower price for my first foray into eBook readers, except for this quick-skimming issue.
For this use I do believe that the PRS-700 would be better. Early next year there will be more faster units I believe. CES is coming and there will be eBook Readers announced.
