I'm sorry about your 505, Kennyc! I'm already dreading the day that my 505 kicks the dust - it was my first ebook reader love!

I was at Target this morning and the T1s were on clearance for $65 -- I impulsively bought one of those but haven't taken it out of the box yet. I'm not sure what I'm going with the PRS-505 and I'm not even sure if I'll like the differences and whether I will get any benefits -- besides a brighter screen and wi-fi -- that will make the upgrade worthwhile.

(I'm visiting the Sony forum today to learn more about it. Normally I stay out of the device forums because they just seem to only make me want to buy new stuff. )
Just for the record, I have a PRS-505 and a T1, and I think that the T1 is a fantastic update. You get built in dictionaries, a web browser, faster page turns, on-device page cropping, fonts to choose from, more font sizes to choose from, and more.
