I love my 505!! I have had no problems at all.

I also have a friend who has a 505 (without her I probably wouldn't have even considered the 505). Anyway, her 505 got stepped on..which normally wouldn't be covered under warranty. She said Sony was so helpful and sent her a refurbished replacement, that actually has newer software than her first one. Again, this is just what I heard from her.

So far, I've been able to find most all the books I want...Between BooksonBoard and Sony, they have a wide Variety, and the Sony Store actually has had the cheapest prices on alot of occasions. Although I do like that BooksonBoard has the Micropay rebates. I signed up for alot of newsletters telling me when stores are having sales. So I usually try to do my ebook shopping then.

Good luck in your decision!! Let us know if/when you get your 505!!
