I'm sure the PRS-505 suits you perfectly but the forum is called "Which one should I buy?" and personally I'd feel wrong to recommend a unit which is no longer produced, has less features (whether initially required or not) and costs more 2nd hand than the latest units do new. The big selling point of the PRS-505 was the screen which everyone said was brilliant but most people
here say the new Kindle screens are even better.
The Sony does have more formats but I use Calibre to convert files before putting them on my Kindle so it doesn't matter to me. The card slots are also neat on the Sony but the new K3 has 4GB which is still an awful lot of reading. The design is a matter of taste but I'd agree Sony has the edge here.
Any ereader will appear like magic to someone who has only ever read paper books before so whatever the OP gets then I'm sure they'll love it.
EDIT: I was being an idiot and not reading the 1st post - didn't realise he wanted something exactly like a PRS-505 and didn't like kindles. I'd agree that the Pocketbook 360 is fairly close. I'd still look at the K3 though as it offers a lot for the money
