Wait, why are you saying this if you are getting a 505? I spent $300 on my 505 and would do it again in a heartbeat. My library has a poor selection of the books I want to read, plus I am constantly traveling and packing way too many books. Now it's not a worry. I can read wherever I am (device fits in my purse), and have a large selection of books at once. I also get a fairly decent discount on books. The 505 does not bother my eyes, unlike my iPhone and my netbook (yes, you are right about the gadget freak part, but my 505 is my favorite on the list).
Yes, I read general fiction. Lots of it. Lots of people out there buy it too, and don't get it from the library.
It's not for everybody. Maybe it's not for you. What's the big deal then?
