I have both as well. Being a mac guy, I never had access to the Sony Store (I don't have a PC or any windows software) so the Kindle and my Mac get along way better than the Sony Reader 500 did. So this pushed me over the edge and I will probably sell my Sony Reader.
One thing I did notice was that my Kindle is so much FASTER when you open and process a book for the first time. But I don't know if the Sony 505's were faster than the 500's.
Also, this hasn't been talked about before, but my Sony Reader actually would make my hands cold at night (I keep the thermostat low at night in the winter). Since the Kindle is plasticy I don't have the problem.
On the other hand, I paid more for something that is more plastic so that sorta sucks.
