I have not seen a PRS-505, but I am very impressed by the Kindle screen. Page turns are fast (seem to depend on the screen, not the controller). Turning to a page with an image on it is slow, but the images are very good. There isn't a huge difference between Kindle images and the 16 grey scale images on a iLiad, although the latter are better if you look close up. The iLiad screen is not Vizplex, so a comparison of images on the PRS-505 (8 grey scale) vs the Kindle (4 grey scale) would be worth doing.
