After having a day to play, I have come to the conclusion that I was harsh on the refresh rate in one important aspect.

When both readers are compared side by side as in my video, there is little difference between the two devices, (Most others agree.)

But I noticed with the 500, that when I put in a memory card with a few books loaded, even if I was reading a book on the main memory, the pageturning and bookmarking became very, very much slower.

In my 505, I have a doxen books and 70 MP3 tracks on the same Sony 2GB memory card, and there is no noticible difference in refresh rate when I have the card inplace or removed.

This to me is huge. I had given up keeping a card permanently in the 500, putting one in when I wanted to listen to music while I read.
