Actually, my Sony took ages to change Font sizes. It often froze when opening largish PDF files (about 5MB), and was slow to open books or repaginate them. Also no dictionary, which is a huge benefit if you read in different languages than your own.
While it is a nice device, it is also an aged device with a slow processor and -in my opinion- not enough ram. The build quality of the 505 clearly is superior to the pocketbook, as it has a metal body, but that wasn't really important fro me.
I had no issues at all adjusting to the smaller screen (especially as I have no margins on the pocketbook) and have not once regretted the change...

cheers,
kaas
