It seems that the new models do not bring major improvements over the 505 and 700. Hopefully, though, they will bring the price of the older models down, so maybe a little patience is due.

Sounds good. Worth some more investigation with other readers as well.

I'm glad to hear that. I'll try my colleague's Sony at work, to get a feeling of the eInk technology in general, and the PRS 505 in particular.

I'll wait a few more weeks before finally deciding on any reader, although the wait will be difficult.
