I have just got my new DR800SG and I must say it is much better than the 505. The screen does look even better. Characters are crisper, that is especially noticeable for small size Chinese fonts. The background is also lighter, though that may be an optical illusion due to the light grey bezel. Page turns and navigation are very fast and convenient and that extra screen space really makes a big difference, the Sony displays very little text per page except at the smallest font size -- which is almost unusable for me. Overall size is almost the same as the 505. And after the upcoming firmware upgrade functionality will be among the best of all readers. The only major gripe I have is that there is no pen silo.
