Another thing you will see talked about in the reviews is the "delay" between pressing the button and the page changing to its new state...
On the 505, you press the button, there is about a "short second" when nothing appears to happen, then about half a second as the screen blacks then clears to the new state.
I find that when reading out loud to my wife (one reader, two people), I scan ahead about 2/3 of a line (medium type size) before pressing the page turn button. By the time I have spoken that last 2/3 of a line, the new page is displayed ready for my eye to move to the top of the screen.
Speaking of the screen, by the way - the quality is excellent! Even in mediocre lighting conditions, it is clear and in daylight it is so pin-sharp and crispy and high contrast I am still amazed even after a week of ownership.
Now all I need to do is wait for Oberon Designs to do the 505 leather covers and my reading pleasure is complete!
