Sony makes brilliant product and has the marketing savvy of the Edsel production team. Sony's minidisc recorders were (and still are) a brilliant piece of hardware, but not marketed well at all. Seems they have the same marketing team on their e-book readers now. I love my 505 - it holds more books than my pickup truck can haul in one load. Its metal construction feels solid and substantial. I don't need WiFi - if I finish one of the books on there, I just read one of the other several hundred I have. I'd buy another Sony in a heartbeat. My friends that have been given Kindles as gifts usually see/feel my 505 and they are immediately impressed (in a good way) by its solid build.
