We are going to be getting 1-2 500's from the credit card offer once they are available. So we will acutely have extra readers to "loan" out to people.

The reader is very nice, the screen refresh is much more acceptable, and the direct sd card and memory drag and drop works like a charm. I have been going fb2 to lrf.
I have some good news for you maybe...

Rumor has it that when the Sony Rewards finally gets in more readers that it will be the 505 and not the 500. I'm hoping so. I have a 505 on order now and will give my Mother-in-law my reader. If I can get another 505 via the credit card offer, I'll give that to my wife and sell hers.
