Absolutely nothing new here: this has all been hashed and rehashed on this site. My sense is that there is no "winner" in such a "contest" since the owner of a device is going naturally to set out to justify its purchase. All these devices are too expensive, because the screens (the same, BTW, on both the Kindle and the 505) are tied to one manufacturer. I could live with either one, though the Sony killer for me is the lack of a search function (this is the one constant advantage of an ebook over a pbook). Wireless is a good feature but not essential (and for those of you so hung up on what Amazon charges, bear in mind that you can for free read mobile versions of the NYTimes and the WSJournal and other publications on the web as you can most of the blogs). Eventually there will be better readers too.
