I find the fact that I can take out one ebook reader no matter where I am in a book extremely convenient, that way, if I finish one book, I can just scroll to the next book without having to worry whether I remembered to put it in my handbag!
Actually, I find I can hold my 505 in one hand better then any paperback. because with the paperback, I still need my other hand to help turn the pages. But with my 505 I can do it all with one hand.

As for the actual story, I can get into it just as easily with my 505 as I can with the pBook. I am one of the type of readers that usually has multiple books being read. So the 505 allows me to have them all with me at the same time and flip between them as the mood strikes me. With paper books, I'm not able to do that without a stack of books.
