Hi...I've been following this site for a while but this is my first post.

I currently have the Sony PRS-505 Reader but the Kindle 2 has intrigued me. I really like the idea of the text to voice capability as there are times I like to read a book but also times I like to listen to them. For example sometimes I like to listen to something when going to sleep or if I'm busy working on a project and I can play it through my stereo.

I also like the idea of being able to read newspapers & magazines on the Kindle as well. I did try using Calibre to download to my 505 but I'm thinking format wise the downloads to the Kindle are probably better. If anybody has used both I wouldn't mind getting a comparison.

So do you think those 2 reasons are good enough for me to sell my 505 and spend the extra money on a Kindle 2 or am I better off sticking with the 505?

Thanks for any and all opinions!
