Personally I own a kindle 1, and I love it. My wife owns a 505 and she enjoys her ebook device as much as i enjoy mine. However she cant find the same titles I have for my kindle for her 505. Does that mean she is going to go out and buy a kindle 2 nope. First reason is that the Whispernet still doesnt work outside the US, which sucks for me because I'm stationed in europe now. So either way if I use my kindle or my wifes 505, I still have to plug it into the computer.
The major difference is the content available to the Kindle, compared to that of the PRS 505. Amazon has more contact with publishers than Sony does (I think....). After all the PRS 505 isnt really where Sony makes there money now is it (i.e.PS3)?
Now if Amazon were to make Whispernet available to Europe, I would have pre-ordered already.
