I was at the local Fred Meyer today, wondering if they had the 300 or the 600 to look at, but they still had a display and a caseful of 505s. The saleslady didn't even know that the 505 had been discontinued (actually, she didn't know much about ereaders at all - I showed her all about it and now she wants to buy one for her daughter, ha!)

They still had several (silver only) and no word on when they'll be getting the newer models. So if anyone is still looking for the 505, they're still available, at least in little backwater towns like this one.
