... My 505 may turn pages slowly, but I really don't care. It does the job and once I adjusted to it -- pushing the button as I finish reading the last sentence -- it is not bother whatsoever.
I have a 505 also. While the page turning is "acceptable" I wish it would be quicker. I also push the page turn a little early, and once in a while, I need to go back a page. Sure it works "just fine", but why settle for this on a newer device?

Sure you can measure it. That is great and very helpful, everyone will decide if it is quick enough for their needs, there will be questions about how the measurements were taken, Is twice as fast really necessary?... Why not look at it from a different angle? Did you see the video of the 600 scrolling a PDF? Doesn't it beg the question: "if you can scroll at a rate of 10 frames a second, with no black flashing and no appreciable ghosting, then why put up with 1-2 second page turns."

Why not raise this with the factory, instead of just saying this is the measurement.

As far as formats there is a list on the website, in the specifications or features.
My appoligies, I didn't expect to see it under highlights, I expected it under specifications.

It says "20+ open formats", and then lists 21 formats. So it supports 21? RTF is missing, so it supports 22? The list is incomplete. Where can a I get a comprehensive list?

The highlights page lists TTS. So TTS works with all formats?

The highlights page list "rotating display"** Where can I get a list of what formats can be rotated?

I (and many other potential customers) could weed through a ton of posts, to find information for the above, but I would rather have as much information as possible in one spot.
