- Dictionary lookup in any of hundreds of different Mobi dictionaries.
- A user-replaceable battery.
- Mobipocket support - very much the de facto industry standard, with the best-implemented Mobi support of any eInk device.
- Available world-wide, with a world-wide warranty.
Actually, with the 505 and 700 if you use ePub, you can load any font you want and specify the size you want in the CSS. And it does work. One of the ePub books I am reading is using a font of my choice and the size of my choice as well. All I had to to once the font was in the proper place was edit the CSS and voila, done. Oh and it's a full font family with proper italics and proper bold as well.
