Quick bookmark
To bookmark a page without going through the menus, double-tap the top right corner of the page.

Flipping the pages
If you want to quickly flip many pages, drag the page to the right (or left) and hold your finger. The pages will keep flipping until you lift it.
I bookmark only by double tapping and it works well.

To flip pages fast the forward button works better for me - I tend to let go on the screen after the switch move, though if you *consciously* try, it works as above - but even better is the page cursor that appears in the options/go to page. Not as smooth as the 770/Ebk one, but quite good.

The back menu button is your friend as is sorting books by date, though I still miss having the list of the last 100 books accessed and the option to go to previous book in one move.

I have no idea why it's hard to implement the list of accessed books in a special internal memory "collection" that adds/changes the place of the book once you access it. That is one of the most useful features of the 770. Even the last 10-20 books would do. With the 700 as with the 500, I bookmark the last read page on any book I open, but then I have to spend some time "cleaning" the bookmarks once in a while...
