yeah, contempt prior to actually having one and condemning them all is one way to approach different NEW gadgets.

I did think like you did before I bought one , so who am I to tell you that your thinking doesn't make sense. It does. But owning one for a few weeks and then coming down on this type device is another option for some of us.

I choose to try out the 505 for a few days before I realized it was something I found useful.

As to reading stuff , if you have word docs, pdf's in searchable format (meaning not scanned), and epub and other ebooks from web, this device is pretty useful.

Battery life is what sold me 3 weeks with device left on. And making the font sizes the way I like them (can't do that with paper book). And instant TURN ON .. 1/2 second and turn off ... and putting on the ereader all the books I love on one device is feature I like.
