The Sony's going back to Target.
I priced 6 books (Kindle & something that I could get onto the Sony) that I either purchased in the last year, or expect to purchase soon. The total for the Kindle was $50 less. And that
doesn't include a $32 book that simply wasn't available in a 505-friendly format! Six purchases would virtually eliminate the difference in the price of the devices.
I like the 505. I like the way it feels. I like the 8-shades of gray. I like the size. I like the clean, easy to use interface. But, as much as I like it, it's simply too expensive to own.
Many thanks to those who provided help with the 505.
