I would suggest you try to get a PRS-500 at a cheaper price. I'm very pleased with mine and not obsessed about upgrading since it does what I want, given additional software that is available for converting from pdf to lrf.
Thanks for suggestions, Yarrow.

Yes, I found lots of PRS-500 via eBay.com, and some of them are very cheep indeed. The reason I would like to get a 505 instead of 500 is because I have heard the screen contrast of 505 is better than 500, and there seems to be some driver problems with 500 as reported by some of the friends here.

Anyway, thanks for your kindly reply. I might consider to get a PRS-500 if I can't find a 505 on the internet eventually.
