I would caution FlyingGeek about making such an offer before actually holding the 505 in his hands -- I was in border's the other day and held the 505 in my hands and am so glad I bought the 500 and hope to goodness that it doesn't die before a better replacement arrives.
I don't like the feel of the 505 at all. I really like the improvements it offers (except the movement of the two page turn buttons to the right side), but it feels like a toy which will break in no time, whereas the 500 feels much more substantial and rugged to me.
I wish I could hold a Kindle to see if my impressions of how that will feel hold true -- I had thought from the first I read of the 505 that it would feel less substantial than the 500 and that turned out to be true.
So I'd offer the suggestion that Christian wait until he'd actually seen and tried the 505 before offering the 500 for sale -- he may decide to keep both and use the 500 for travel where ruggedness may be more important.
