(look to the new txtr - now THAT is a good new design!)

Besides, the keyboard philosophy beyond the Kindle does not make sense to me: if I want to buy a book - or dowload anything, really - to my Cybook, I just plug it to a computer - there are online computers pretty much anywhere for God sake!

Unless there are important developments in techical aspects to announce, I will most probably prefer a 505 or Cybook anyday.
The big draw of the Kindle over other e-readers is Whipernet and the ability to download/preview books on the go.
