I agree with RedBarnMom...I LOVE my 700!!! I can read in dim light or no light without having to worry about if I have enough spare batteries for a booklight, or have to carry that booklight with me. It's quite rugged (IMO), and the size is just right for me. It reads a number of formats, changes font size quite nicely, and I've had no issues or problems with locking up or acting inappropriatley on any count. I can hold it in any manner, because I don't have to use a mechanical page turner...just flick my finger anywhere on the page. No, I don't agree with Gizmodo at all. I'm still very pleased with my little friend after a 6 month relationship...growing closer every day!!
