I went back to the big box bookstore to look at the Sony 505. It is sleek and minimalist and easy on the eyes but I strongly dislike how it feels in my hands. Metal is cold and slippery. The Kindle feels good in my hands.

I own many Sony products and *if* I'd already owned a 505 I probably would not have bought a Kindle. I just wish I could have justified buying the Irex but I couldn't justify *another* $300.
