Hi All:

I am new here and have enjoyed reading all the posts on both the Kindle and Sony PRS-505. I ordered the Kindle twice and than cancelled my order. I found some awesome reviews on YouTube on the Kindle and honestly in my option I feel there is a big flaw with those large forward/backward buttons on the sides - this feature really turned me off and they seem to get in the way of everyone that I've seen reviewing the unit. This was my major reason for cancelling my order. I finally ordered the Sony and I should be receiving it today. I still think the Kindle has a ton of great stuff to offer but for me (being this is my first E-reader) I decided to go with a more basic model. I will most likely purchase the next version of the Kindle after they streamline the look or better yet, just wait for a color E-Reader - keeping my eyes out on the Fujitsu!
