I'm hoping to get a PRS 505-- had been considering the Kindle but it doesn't seem to have anything that will really make it worth an extra $100 over the Sony. $199 would have been a much better price.

(I think Bookeen and Amazon both have something to learn about taking over the market. You don't try to displace an existing market leader (Sony) by only offering more expensive products. Somebody should try to come in at $199 or $250 rather than $350-400.)
