Which would you guys say is the better one? and how clear are the new e-ink pearl screen compared to the Sony 505?

ok thx for any info (and there's a good chance i would keep both e-readers if I did buy the kindle 3)
The new kindle is nice, no doubt about that, but there is a big if to be considered. The readers are incompatible with each other. Books you buy for one will not work on the other. At least they won't without stripping their DRM and converting them (The latter is pretty easy with calibre or some other tools out there, the former is a little more dicey from a legal perspective).
