Now with all the limitations, unless they change something drastically, I strogly doubt it will outsell the Sony and may not even outsell the Bookeen.
To me the big winners here is Sony since this device makes the Sony reader a much more desirable alternative.

Lets say you are looking for an ebook reader in the USA. You have the 505 and the Kindle. Now, you go an look at the prices for both devices. $100 difference. Just purchase 10 bestsellers using the Kindle and the price has just become cheaper then the 505 based on the amount you've just saved. Buy even more and the saving make the Kindle cost even less. Face it, Amazon is going to win if you look at it from an economic standpoint.
