After seeing the pics here I was pretty sure this would bother me, but I have found the border of light around the light wedge doesn't bother me at all. In fact, I stayed up almost all night reading, having gotten caught up in the story. The whole set up - PRS-505 + light wedge - was just perfect.
The only mod I'm considering is making a fabric case for the 'leather' cover itself. I'm used to my old green leather cover for the PRS-500 and want something easy to spot. There is leather paint, but I'm not sure how a painted cover would hold up to constantly being used.
I have to say again - the (re)design of the 505 is just splendid! It constantly makes me smile at the nice touches (on/off with matte not slippery shiny chrome plus more prominent bumps for good contact, push-in SD and Memory Stick readers (instead of that wacky, waiting-to-get-pulled-off door hinge thing on the 500), page turning buttons on the right side (biggie!), etc.).
