Is this acutally an issue?

What do you mean by "loading files"?
Open ebook on the reader? 1 second (changing font size - 1 second). As long as you use eBook Library to upload ebooks to the reader.
Select a certain page...if you know page number then it is quick. However, if you want to browse through ebook than 700 is a lot faster. It has some sort of feature when you press at the corner of a screen and hold, then pages are almost flying by
700 is a lot faster than 505. No doubt.
The question is what you are after. You have to make a list of things you want from your ebook reader then check the readers and see how well they support the items on your list.
It is very easy for me.
I need it only for fiction (I would love to read technical PDFs(IT) as well but I gave up on it long time ago. 6" cannot display A4 page properly doesn't matter what type of shaman's magic you apply
)
After I came to this conclusion it was easy.
The most important for me is screen and next to it is battery life.
In former, 505 is much better than 700 (if screen is not important why bother with eInk in the first place? You can buy other gadgets with LCD screens). The latter I believe is at least as good in 505 as in 700, or maybe even a bit better than 700 because 505 has slower CPU and maybe requires less power to operate.
