yeah, that's why I'm on the fence. The simplicity of the Cybook is appealing, so is the font-freedom. The price and ease of order are a plus for the 505.

I've got more .mobi/.html format material, there doesn't seem to be as many stores offering bebb/.lrf material. Is that a correct observation?

The ePub /reflow PDF is a nice tickmark.

I'm still concerned that about the levels of greyscale. Is there a big difference between the Cybook and 505 in terms of contrast and readability?

Thanks for all the input so far!
