If you look at all the features they covered in the Kindle, are there any of them that exist in the 505? They mentioned that the screens are now equal. What features do you think they should've put head to head with the Kindle in the video? The review centered mostly on the ease of getting content over Whispernet versus through the store and USB. Has that changed? If you were to go through that video and cover all the features they did but use the 505 instead of the 500, what specifically would you say? I think that would be a more convincing argument that they were negligent than just "but there's a new one now".
