As I write, my 700 is propped on the desk, next to the monitor. I don't have to pin or otherwise use anything to keep the page open to the correct one. Turning the page is a snap, and when I finish this story (only have 15 more pages to read) I can start another one right away, as my entire library is always with me, wherever I am. Also, I don't sniff books too often (by the way...that odor is result of mildew or decomposition...nice, eh)
Those who poo-poo ebooks haven't had the opportunity to try them, I would guess.
I LOVE MY READER AND WILL NEVER GO BACK TO PBOOKS AGAIN!!!
