I have found that I actually complete less books since I bought my Sony 505!
The reasons for this are:
1. I have about 200 unread books on my Reader. It's like sitting next to a big bookcase when reading with lots of other books crying out for attention! If I'm travelling it's just too easy to skip between books if I even get a little bit bored. In the past, I'd probably only have had one or two books with me.
2. Since getting my Reader, I get a lot of books free (PD books and Creative Commons). In the days when I had to shell out some hard-earned cash I was more likely to read a book to the bitter end just out of principle. It's also true that I find that I just don't like some of the classics or creative commons freely available out there when I start them.
