Heheh, it's good to see it finally materialize! I too had some questions about the specs and lack of mention regarding Vizplex. They still haven't changed specs on the official page, so it still shows 4 grey levels.
As to it being thinner than the earlier model... the PRS-500 isn't 13.5mm w/o the case, it's actually ~8.5mm (I just measured mine). The measurements they show for the PRS-505 is w/o the case as well, so it's not much smaller than the original; i.e., ~.5mm thinner, so don't get your hopes up on a super-thin device.
Too bad about people who just bought the PRS-500, but it's a wonder in itself, so don't feel slighted. I'm more than happy with mine and my wife loves hers too.
