Does that mean hat there is a way to put pdfs, HTML and other formats onto the kindle?
Is there a program that will do all the translation to kindle's format, including word files?

I would probably more often just load books on via cable and computer rather over the air. If it does turn out to be cheaper I might still choose kindle.

However, the problem I feel with the kindle, Is that it looks clunky and hard to hold vs the sleeker 505 (the only one I've seen in person)

Seems like the more I think about which would best suit me, the more difficult the decissions become!

Edit: I looked up the Sony clie sj20, and I found it's too small for me. (my eyes aren't the best.).
The new kindle looks superb, but that price!
Right now, for me it is between a used kindle, or a used prs-505.

What can the 505 do that the kindle can't? I mean, assuming there is a program to translate formats like jpeg, html, and doc filed to kindle's language other then emailing to amazon... (the only reason I prefer the Sony other than asthetics)
