I'm going to wait till this Amazon press release to see how the Kindle 2 fares before I make my final decision.

I'm new and don't really know how the karma system works, but I'll certainly try and give some to all the helpful people in the thread.
Are you located in the US? If you are go to a Borders store and check it out (but call first, sometimes the units are dead). They'll have both the 700 and 505. If you can, check out the different titles on each. Occasionally a book will have a smaller font than most others. On those, zooming to Medium looks like small, and Large looks like Medium.
