Well, I'm happy with the 505 as it serves my needs, but if you want things like dictionary lookup or search you will need some kind of input device. That means either onboard keyboard like the Kindle *shudder* or some kind of external input device or a touchscreen. I'm not for touchscreens on these devices but you could use a stylus if the fingerprints or bears bother you.
