I just bought a 505 it should be coming soon but I bought it despite the concern that Sony maybe pulling out of the business. Even if they are #2, Amazon IMO will overtake them because of their DRM library. Amazon is already #1 in books. The way I see it, the Kindle is the iPod and the PRS family is the Zune. It's still out there, but a larger number of people have an iPod. The iPod has gone through so many more stages of evolution because it can afford to. Even if Sony stays in the game, they will always get trampled by Amazon. Once again IMO.

However, I'd like to just note that the PRS units look waaaaay nicer than the Kindke ones. Who the f*** designed those things?!
