I've owned both, I had my 505 for about a year and a half, and I've had the 700 since it came out. I really like most of the improvements for the 700, except that you've fewer page-turning options. Works pretty well using the stylus as a page turner, but I keep misplacing it when I set it down for a second to do something else. Also, to give your hand a break, I'd like to see an option to flip the screen 180 degrees, which would put the paging buttons at the top of the page under your right thumb.

Speed is much improved, and I find the display to be pretty close to the 505. And now that they've released a 64-bit version of the eBook Library software, pretty much all my complaints have been resolved.
