I have a PRS-500, my iPod Touch, and an Ebookwise 1150. I'm about to upgrade the 500, most likely with the 505, as I can get the $100 upgrade discount from Sony. I would like a device that I can take notes on, but figure it would be better if I do that on one with a larger screen, since it would mostly be for tech books.

If Sony comes out with a larger screen device with annotation ability, I would go for it, but would keep the smaller device, as well. The challenge would be the convenience of getting tech books on the Kindle DX through Amazon's store. I wanted to rule out the Kindle, but that's an advantage that I just can't ignore.

I only use my iPod touch as a reader when my 500 isn't with me - which is rare. And, that poor 1150 hasn't been touched in almost 2 years, so once I'm sure it still works, I'll probably sell it. Having it just sit there makes me feel guilty.
