Although a non-owner, fast-forwarding (by swipe-and-hold) on the Sony touchscreens seems to work perfectly (I tried it on the Sony 600 and 700 in store). You end your fast-forwarding exactly where you wanted. Like TIVO (which actually backs up a little from where you released the FF button), rather than overshooting like when you fast forward a DVD or VHS tape. This is useful if you read a lot of Calibre magazines, as you'll want to jump ahead to the next article. Yes, you can navigate via links and button presses, but geez, there's 400-1,300 pages in the typical magazine or newspaper.
600 owners, please correct me if I'm wrong, since I've only tested this with about ten fast-forwards, and I'm the reactive, quick-reflexes type (glaucoma puff tests and open-eyed flash photographs were nearly impossible), so it may be just at my limit and not feasible for less reactive people.
