I've had a 500 for a couple of years and love it. I travel by plane a lot and use it mostly for textbooks that are converted from PDF using pdf2lrf.

I read reviews of the 700 thinking I'd upgrade, but the screen puts me off. I don't think I'd make much use of the WiFi either, given I use it mostly on planes. So the 505 would seem a better upgrade.

But is it worth the upgrade? The speed of page turns doesn't bother me massively on the 500, so is the extra contrast worth upgrading?
