The latter is likely to end up with a dropped Reader. Unfortunately, the buttons that the 500 had on the left edge that were very conveniently pushed with your left thumb have been moved to the right edge of the Reader where they are out of reach. Bottom line, the 500 was ergonomically superior to the 505, in my opinion.

I must admit that when I am reading, I love the Kindle page turn keys...no matter how I hold it, I can turn pages with a simply lift of the finger. I'd like to be able to put it in sleep mode (or lock the keys) with one hand when getting up/down, but wouldn't want the keys themselves to change.
