Many warm thanks to you for your efforts, NatCh, Bob, and Alex.
In Sony's video of the 505 two things struck me compared to the 500: its thinness and the clarity of its screen. As someone who has seen and touched both, would you say the 500 is too light (i.e., does it feel cheap or uncomfortably "dropable") or comfortably lighter but solid? Is the screen display really superior or am I just overly optimistic? I'd love to see side-by-side images of the same ebook displayed on both devices.
