I'm actually playing with it now. The trusting soul left it with me to play with all day (or when I have a moment).
Quick impressions:
-small
-looks different from what I pictured in my head. Even though I've seen many photos of it, in my head, I thought the ribbing ran all the way across the face of the reader, instead of about 1/3rd of the way.
-turns on super fast (way faster than either of my Kindles)
-weight feels the same as my K2 (so it was heavier than I expected)
-I don't have a problem with the screen. My K1 and K2 are crisper but I really have no trouble reading the 700.
-I am not good with the page swiping (I'm not good with it on my iPod Touch either). I much prefer tapping the side of the screen to get the page to turn. I do have to tap a bit harder than I expected. The stylus works great.
-the has 125 books on it and they are mostly pdf books. Zooming pages works well for text, I haven't run across any images yet.
-the fonts in the pdf can be made huge, so a range of vision issues should be covered.
-I can't for the life of me figure out how to make a collection. None of the 125 books is in a collection.
More later, I must get back to the grind.
