If you want a 505 as I have ,just get it..you won't be disappointed, trust me. I went to the Sony store and saw the two new models and I still wouldn't trade my 505 for either one of them..Just my personal opinion. I wanted a reader, didn't want touch screen , don't need to scribble notes, just a reader with a very clean screen, easy to handle and most important carry with me in a purse. But what ever you choose I'm sure it will be the best one for you. Happy reading
