I personally think it's one of the best designs out there - and after 18 months on the market it's still fully competitive.

I've got to agree. Unless a new reader is coming out at the same price point as the 505, I don't think it's being discontinued. The price drop isn't a price drop, it's a sale at Borders, who got stuck with a lot of readers that weren't moving. I know when I bought my 505 there a few months ago, it came with coupons that had already expired while sitting on the shelf. I don't see Target or other retailers having a sale like this to dump 505's. If anything, I could see it as a move by Sony to put more 505s in people's hands versus the Kindle.
