Sony does have one content advantage over Kindle: Public Library books. There are a lot more books in my public library in ADE format than there are in Mobipocket. The selection at my library isn't quite enough to make buying a 505 worthwhile since I'm sure I'd miss the dictionary and search functions quite a bit, but if you have a lot of titles available that you want at the library, it could be a factor worth looking at.
