Why would I want to store my books in folders? I have collections. Though I could put PRS+ on it if I wanted folders.
Justification doesn't matter to me; I'm not sure why, but it just doesn't.
I read mostly fiction on my 505. Were I a student this might be different, but my pleasure reading does not involve either searching or notes.
I don't need to look up words while I read. I don't need to keep a paper dictionary within reach when I read pbooks. And my lips don't move, either. We've had this discussion.

Yes, the 505 is a very nice reader, but "the best ebook reader ever built"? No, I don't think so.

People are willing to pay more for a used 505 than a new Kindle, or a lot of other brand-new ebook readers. Seems to me that there are enough people who agree with me to keep the prices high.
