A minor point is that the Sony includes a cover but the Kindle doesn't. Also a resale consideration: if a significantly better technology comes out soon I would imagine I could sell the Sony at a small loss - $50 to $75, but the Kindle has a much higher starting price and I wonder how it would hold that value if, say, Amazon decided to start subsidizing the purchase price of a newer Kindle.

Your post was on 23 May, 2009, where did you see the offer for $200 on a PRS-505 if you use a Sony credit card? I have been all over the SonyStyle.com web site and I see nothing like that. If that is still available I'd take my PRS-505 back and get it from Sony to save the nearly $70!
