What I love most about my reader....hmmmm....not sure there are enough words, lol! The screen (on both devices, although people argue that the 505/300's screen is much nicer than the 600) is very crisp and clear, and is very natural to read. I didn't know anything about them 9 months ago and now if you tried to take mine away I'd beat you up, lol! There's no eyestrain, so if you read for long periods of time it won't be a problem. If you have a Borders/Best Buy/Sony store anywhere close to you I'd say go check out the demo models.
It sux b/c if you want to check out Amazon's Kindle there aren't any places to go to try it out and see if that's what you might want.
It depends largely on what you're reading; I bought my Sony and I haven't looked back!

By the way, welcome to the forums!!!
Thank you!
I am quite interested in getting a Sony PRS-505S. Actually I think this is one I can get my hands on in Canada! Havent seen another one than just the Sony's at Best Buy and Future Shop. From what I read on the internet (Futureshop has them in boxes, cant even show a demo!) this one is pretty good! I first wanted to have an iPod but honestly I would use the ebook library more than games or music.
You say the 505 even has music?
