I am planning on getting a reader by early September. It will be my 25th wedding anniversary gift--yes I am a geek who would rather have a toy than a diamond.

I am trying to decide between the Kindle2 and the Sony 505. I have some concerns about both. I do buy atleast 4-5 paperbacks a month and a occasional hardback.

Question about the 505. Is it going to be obsolete in a year or two with the new readers coming out?

Concerns about the Kindle--fragility

Right now I am leaning towards the Kindle unless I can get a 505 for $199. My local Sam's Club has them for $249 but I am expecting them to drop the price at or near the 25th.

TIA!
