I have both a PRS-500 and a Kindle and I think the "reading experience" on them is the same. The Kindle does have 6 font sizes to the Sony's three. Finding content I want at a decent price and getting it onto the device is much easier with the Kindle. (The better Kindle screen not withstanding because the 505 resolves that.)

In addition to the "reading experience" the Kindle adds the ability to lookup words using the dictionary, annotate books, take clippings of books, search through the books on the device, use Wikipedia from the device, jump to a title or author on the menu screen, etc.

But, to each his own.
