It's happening the other way around for me - I'm reading more & more on my iPhone. But the reason is that most of the books I read in e-form are not available to me on my 505, due to the disregard Sony has for Mac customers.
In fact, I am seriously considering getting a Kindle because of (1) the sync between the Kindle App and the Kindle when one reads a particular book, and (2) the larger universe of new books available from Amazon because of the aforesaid neglect by Sony of the Mac.
But putting all that aside, the fact of the matter is that because of the different ebook apps available for the iPhone/Touch, the iPhone/Touch wins if I had to go with just one reader.
The major advantage the 505 has over the Kindle is that it is smaller and therefore more portable. But my 505 is staying at home these days, because I have all the portable access I need with my iPhone.
With portability no longer in play, I am beginning to consider my ebook reader as being in two parts - the home base reader and the iphone. But all too much I find that the books I can get for my iPhone I can't get for my 505, but I could get for a Kindle.
