Just back from the UK meet-up which was very enjoyable - Mobilereaders are a very friendly (and knowledgeable) bunch so it was great to meet them and see a wide variety of ebook devices in the flesh and hear about their relative merits from users.
Pictures were taken, which I'm sure will be uploaded in due course, but there were Iliads, Sony readers (500 and 505 versions), a Kindle, a Cybook, plus a couple of devices I'd never seen before. I think one was a Hanlin and the other was an eBookwise 1150.
Feel a lot more informed now; a PRS-505 it is once I've found a new job.
I also remarked that with 72 hours of my buying a PRS-505, it'll be just my luck the a plethora of improved ebook devices will become available, all with higher resolution screens, lower prices and improved durability. But you've got to take the plunge sooner or later - you can't wait forever
