I just upgraded my PRS-500 to a PRS-505 a month ago, and am surprised to find myself not feeling the usual gadget-lovers remorse that comes when a new gadget comes out! While the Kindle 2 is an improvement in looks over the original, I still don't like having to have a keyboard on the face - though I could probably get over that, just as I'd get over having to buy a cover. The biggest appeal to me with the Kindle/Kindle 2 is the bookstore, but as ePub is coming along, I have a lot of hope that before long we'll see a standardized ebook marketplace. And I have loved being able to check out books from the library - that is going to save me some money in the long run, even if some of the Sony book prices are higher then the Amazon prices.
At this point, I will probably get a Kindle app for my iPhone if they release it, but overall am pretty satisfied with my PRS-505 - and nothing is today's announcement changed that.
