If you are planning to use it in the comparative long-term, the 505 is worth paying the extra for (IMHO). The main difference is the screen; the 505 has a second generation "VizPlex" screen (the same screen as is used on the CyBook Gen3 and the Kindle). It is enormously better than the screen of the 500 - higher contrast and much easier to read.
