Very interesting opinion, as I have had my e-reader about a week too. I've used it quite a bit, but I'm still finishing up some library books that need to go back.

I can't think of any complaints so far. I guess the only one would be the glare of my booklight on the screen, but I'm thinking that might have more to do with the booklight, and I plan to get the lightwedge anyway. (something the Kindle DOES NOT offer, ONE MORE reason I'm happy I went with the sony). I LOVE the way this feels in my hands though and I like the larger print. I hadn't really tried listening to mp3s on the 505, so thats good to know that you can't control them while reading.

Hope you continue to enjoy your 505!
