That said I've been using the 505 for about a year now, and adore it. Ironically it was the K1 that got me curious about eReaders and enticed me to buy it. The K2 looks to be a much improved system but still lacking the polish of the 505. Even still the functionality of Wispernet has finally gotten the best of me, after much self-debating, so I ordered a K2 to try out, though I won't commit to it until I've tried it for a week. At that point I should know which reader I'll keep.
Sounds similar to me. I've had a 505 since October of '07 and don't really have any complaints (it does have its quirks). I've got a K2 coming this week and am pretty well convinced, for a couple of reasons, that it's going to end up my reader of choice & I'll be getting rid of the 505 but I won't decide for sure until it gets here.
