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.
That might be true if you're only interested in buying books from the Sony and Amazon stores. With a little "know how" you can save a ton by buying books from other vendors such as Fictionwise and Books on Board.
