No. Not really. When displaying a PDF document (the amount of content on one page is fixed) it gives you larger text and graphics that are even more finegrained.

Make a simple test: display a page in word/pdf/whatever at a screen resolution of 800x600 on a 17" or 1920x1200 on a 24" monitor. Which one will look better and be better readable?

That's what I'm (we?) are asking for!
Ah, yes, you're right. Different from a PC desktop, which gives more screen real estate with smaller fonts, on the Reader there is always a rendering app that fills to screen.

Just got my PRS-505 and I am please with it.

I just acquire mine a day ago and I I will agree with you. (like and want for improvement)

I am very happy with my PRS-505S, it is very pleasing to read with.

And I have to admit that when i turn a page, I do feel a little bit like an alien that blink twice sideway.

That too would have to be work at.

I am now looking forward taking the plane and going to England in a few week.
