To each his own, but in my experience my Kindle are faster and had better contrast than my 6-7 months old Sony505. I also never got the 'collections' to work well for me on the 505; it crashed once in a while and the collections meta data usually got deleted (along with bookmarks etc.) and I could load my books again and start over. Since I preferred reading LRF files and used calibre, that meant re-pagination of the books (tedious 2-5 min. wait). In the end, I didn't use collections at all, just had a flat list like on the Kindle. I like the idea of collections/tags, but it has to work consistently.

I find your comment about Collections and Tags strange, I have a PRS505, and use Calibre, and have upwards of 74 seperate collections on my reader, with many stories being in more than one collection.
The collections are simply tags, with a comma between more than one tag for a story. Its very simple and stable, I have never had a problem and every story I load goes into a least one Collection.
Its the only way I could manage my calibre library as I have over 600 stories in Calibre. Up until today they were all on my reader but the volume was slowing it down so my reader has only about 100 stories and 20 collections on it now.
