Yup, I bought a 500 and I LOVED it. Then I bought the 505 because I thought that the little things I didn't like about the 500 would be resolved in the 505 and I would be set. I was right and I was wrong

The 505 is a BRILLIANT reader and would have been a perfect reader for me to start with, but I didn't see it as that big of an upgrade over the 500. So I figured someone should take this impeccable 505 off my hands and I will stick to my (slightly beat up) 500 until I eventually buy a Kindle (only for the wireless connection and auto updated blogs / newspapers).

There really is nothing wrong with the 505, but I know it's too nice to be a "backup" or extra family device (maybe see some use from the girlfriend) when the Kindle arrives and I like the 500 just as much (first love!).

Sorry for the long winded response.. I tend to go on .. and on ... and on
