It's not unreasonable to give Ectaco the benefit of a doubt: perhaps the PRS-505 was brand new on the market or not yet released when they published the chart. Just take a look at upcoming devices and technologies -- Plastic Logic, Pixel Qi, Readius... how long will these companies have had promotional material on their website by the time the product is actually released? 6 months? A year? More? Unless someone knows the exact date that chart was published, it's hard to made a judgment in that respect (other than, "by golly, they need to update that old webpage!")
The 505 was released before the K1. And since Ectaco can include the K1 in the chart, there is no reason not to have compared the 505. Plus, some of the info in the Sony column refers to the 505 and some to the 500. basically, that chart is a botch job of the highest order.
