I was wondering about this too so when I got the PRS-700 a few days ago, one of the first things I did was try out the Lonely Planet "Getting Started" chapters on the Reader. The single-page layouts (such as Egypt and India) are perfectly alright to read but I had a little bit of difficulty with the two-page spreads (eg. New Zealand). As RCR's first post mentions, maps are separated onto another page and things are sometimes out of order. However, I'm wondering if Lonely Planet might be changing their chapter layouts to single-page as only a few months ago when I was looking at these same chapters, all of them were double-page spreads. I'll definitely be keeping my eye out for this as I'm planning a 6-month trip next year and don't want to lug around too many paper guidebooks if I can help it.
