I've had my 505 since just before Christmas - almost 10 months. I've read about 60 books since then, but only two in paper form. Admittedly, lack of ebook availability is almost a non-starter for me anymore. I'll check paper out of the library, but I won't buy it.

The whole thing with wireless access for these devices is something that I find amusing. I'm sure that there are folks who actually DO use it, but I would be that the real need for it relatively small.

The 505 is a solid-feeling, attractive unit with well placed controls. The Kindle is an ugly looking thing (can't speak to ergonomics though).

My two biggest complaints about the 505 are the bookstore software and the fact that the charger is sold separately. (like you're not going to want it - HAH!)
