After having waited for two years for Sony to bring their firmware up to date, I have now pre-ordered a Kindle 3 with Amazon.

I must admit that I shall probably be a little sad to say good-bye to my trusted 505. I just loved the build quality. I had hoped that Sony would provide better support for PDFs and justified ePubs, but my patience finally ran out.

I can understand, to a certain degree, the amount of amazon-bashing going on here as well as outside of this forum, but I believe there are few decent alternatives, particularly, if you are living Downunder.

I shall miss this thread and all the good people with their expert advice.
