I can however find used 550's for much cheaper.

I was wondering what are the differences in:

1. The screen, other than Touch technology. Is the 505 as sharp as the 650 ?
2. PDF Reflow functions, text size functions, lock page, epub compatibility.
3. Unit size. Is the 650 much smaller ?
4. Silver or black 550 ?
1. Yes, as an owner/user of both I would say they are pretty similar in clarity.
2. You get less text size options on a 505 but I never had any great issues with my 505. epub compatibility is the same. I don't tend to read many PDFs but I have heard that the reflow functions are better on the 650.
3. The 650 is a little smaller and perhaps more importantly, a bit lighter.
4. My 505 is silver and my 650 is black. I like both, but that's very much personal preference.

Hope you get what suits your needs!
