Some of my thoughts after several months of usage:

- most important thing for me would be a firmware update to support Mobipocket format (non-DRM would be ok for me)
- some kind of dictionary word lookup would be nice (like in Mobipocket), though I have no idea how this should be done on the 505 without touchscreen.
- speed is ok for me, docs take some time to open/zoom for the first time but after that, it's ok
- screen size and resolution are sufficient for me
- I would like to see an "ultra-mobile" version of the 505: same display size but with smaller frame around the screen and buttons mostly on the sides. Reader should be max. 0,5" lager around each side than the display to fit into jacket pockets. No problem for me if it would be a bit thicker.
