Our local weekly paper (either Cinweekly or Citybeat) just had an in depth article comparing the Kindle and the 505. To answer the battery life question, the kindle gets much less battery life when in normal use. Normal use was buying books with the built-in wireless and normal reading, but it was somewhere on the order of days that the battery lasted.
In the end, the 505 was the authors pick, mostly for ergonomics and battery life. The Kindle is much more convenient having the EVDO connection, more format recognition, and a larger store library (they said the books are cheaper at Amazon than at the Sony store though I've seen proof otherwise), but... the Sony is just so much more likeable in it's simplicity. At least that's my opinion. I've only flipped through a couple of pages and menus on the Kindle, never bought a book or connected to Amazon with it.
