So I caved in and bought it. I think this beautiful new hardware has won me over to Sony for the long run. Now if only Sony would clean up their software and snuggle up to the publishers.

I do wish Amazon would dump the Kindle and team up with Sony for their hardware. That would be the best of both worlds.
Actually the screen on the 505 (eight shades of grey and higher contrast) is more advanced then the screen on the Kindle (four shades of grey). I believe the Kindles is the same as the 500's.
