But today I stopped into my local Costco and noticed that they are still selling the 500. They sell it at $249 with $50 CONNECT credit, so it is a $100 value over the 505.
The question is, are the benefits of the 505 worth more than $100?

Only you can decide that but is cheap is the way you want to go then you may be able to sign up for a Sony credit card and get a 500 for $59 if the offer is still good. Check the Sony site and call about it.
The 505 compared to the 500. Both use the same books. The 505 has more color choices for the case, a brighter screen, faster page turns, more gray scales (8 vs. 4) for better images, a better connect interface to the Sony store, the ability to categorize books, the ability to connect to any USB port and look like a memory device, the ability to charge from a USB port.
I think that is it but hopefully someone will correct any errors.
