I don't notice it at all. I'm not normally a gadget-person, but I can't say enough good things about my PRS-505. I've used my husband's Palm occasionally and find there to be no comparison, especially for reading for prolonged periods - the PRS-505 is great. I suspect it might be easier to read than paper, in a lot of ways.
Sony Style stores in Canada have a no questions asked 30 day return period. That's what tipped the balance for me - and after about 3 days I knew I was hooked. I don't know if there are better/cheaper places to buy from, or if the stores near you don't have this policy, but if you can't borrow one, or play with one for a while, this strikes me as a very good and low risk way to see if it works for you.
