I'm not sure about the prices you are looking at. Prices below are US $ -- I'm not sure what you quoted in your original email.
1)As mentioned the Sony 505 is probably being replaced this month by the prs-600 -- it will be 6". The 300 will be a 5 inch device. No one knows about the pricing on the two new units. However, while you can still buy the 505, you can usually find a deal to buy it for about $150 off if you apply for the Sony credit card. Actually, I expect that this credit card deal will be good on the new units also. Search in the deals forum to find details about it. There are also other deals available at various times on it. You should be able to find it under $250 in U.S. dollars.
2) Instead of the Opus, I would look to the EZReader Pocket Pro from Astak. It costs about $229. This recommendation is based on the price and the fact that I haven't been impressed with Bookeen's customer service. However, I must be honest on one factor: the Opus is now available, and the Pocket Pro won't be out until the end of this month.
