As I said, it's an emotional reaction, not an intellectual one, but it's enough to give me an aesthetic preference for the silver one.

But I imagine I'm in the minority on that.
Are they plastic? I thought they were metal? One of the reasons I'm picking the 505 over the Cybook is that I've had a lot of Sony products and the build quality is always good. I'm not saying the Cybook isn't good quality but I'm going with the experience I've had with the other Sony products I've owned.
