Speaking as someone who owns both a 505 and a K2, but lacks access to the Sony bookstore because I use a Mac, I figure maybe it might be a good idea to think of the devices using thought experiments.

So here's a couple:

(1) Suppose that the 505 had access to the Amazon Kindle store, and could wirelessly purchase, download and read K formatted books. On those terms, which would be the better ebook device?

(2) Suppose that the K2 lacked wireless purchasing and downloading. Would the Sony bookstore and other purchasing options, taken together, be better than what Amazon offers in terms of availability of recently published books, and price?
