The extra width will only matter on documents without set page sizes-- those will able to have extra lines of text. (The extra height will turn to extra width in landscape mode, of course-- in that case, the height will be the same as your 505.)
Because of all this, I don't conciser the "7.1-inch" to be a 7.1-inch screen, just an "enhanced" 6-inch screen.

I dont use it for PDF doc's and only read books that I buy from the Sony store so the extra lines on the page and the fact that it is touch screen verses the button I have now means that for my application its a great product ( well I hope). I was thinking if I buy the 900 then I could sell my 505 but that would be a really silly move as the 505 is great - I just want more words on the page. I guess everyone has different requirements for any reader which is why is great there are so many choices. As for me, Ill be lining up when they are released and even though I live O/S I have a friend who will accept delivery and forward it for me.
