The 505 is not a good choice if you don't have a Windows PC handy. You will not be able to apply firmware updates although they are few and far between. You also won't be able to buy from the Sony store... but you can't do that outside the US/Canada anyway so this probably doesn't affect you.
Also, if you get the 505 you are probably going to need to learn to remove DRM and convert books. While with the CyBook you won't need to be doing that since it supports the Mobipocket DRM which most ebook stores and libraries support.
