It does make a difference, actually. Everyone who had a Sony PRS-500 and then upgraded to a PRS-505 will tell you that. The controller used for displaying 4 grey scales is the oldest among the bunch. The PRS-505 uses the newer Metronome controller from E Ink which adds new control functions for improved display.

Back to the original question: If you can make use of Whispernet and are frequently purchasing commercial e-books, get the K2. It's so convenient to use, especially when you are traveling, that any other device pales in comparison.
