If I didn't have a 505 already I might buy a Kindle because of the convenience and my love of Amazon and because the connection to Wikipedia is the beginning of what I think a true ebook reader should be. But I love my 505 because it is beautiful, especially in its pink leather cover (makes me feel like I'm reading a collector's edition book) and because I can always find plenty to read at the Connect store. The Kindle is just ugly and I like pretty things. We'll see how both devices progress over the next couple of years, but for now my 505 is a keeper.
