I'm 72 years old still with 20/20 vision and have been doing all my book reading for 20 years on a PC with MS Reader. I like the Sony 505 since it supports PC reading with eBook Library with the option of continuing when the PC is down on the 505.
By the way, the 505 has 8 shades of grey to only 4 on the 500 and on the Kindle. The 505 should be much clearer than the other 2.
I still think you'd find the PC monitor better than the 505, itself. Its always better if you are not using the PC to read at a desk with a good, natural light.
If you always use the largest fonts in landscape mode, you shouldn't have a problem if the lighting is good. Reading in bed or with poor lighting isn't too healthy anyway.
