I agree - 505 is cool, though the software is klunky

The downside is the price of $399 + taxes (I'm in Canada). I would expect it a little cheaper.

Yes, I agree - I went out special to get the 505 "last year's model" because I had seen one "in person" and didn't one the newer ones. I love it. Even at $299 it's a great item -- but I agree $399 for this year's version is really pushing it. Soon we'll see the release of the Que which will rock the world of readers. I like the size of mine, though (compared to the big Que), and now that I have it in a protective case (Case Logic) I take it everywhere.
