I think it's wonderful that there are so many readers out there: competition will lead to improvements. I don't care that one is the "best": I care only that the one I have (the Kindle global wireless) suits my purposes. Yes, I would like it to have zoom capabilities (for the pdf files) and folders, but I'm doing just fine with it as it is.

Why not security? Different features matter to different readers.
As for why a Russian site, my answer is why not? And I'm sure a Russian can appreciate wireless capabilities as well as anyone else.
All the poll shows is which device serves the needs of the people surveyed the best of those which have been available in 2009. While the PRS-505 is no longer available, it was available for much of the year.
I may be biased (I do own a 505) but as of right now I can't find a single 6" device that is significantly better for my needs than the PRS-505. Not saying other devices don't meet other people's needs better, but the 505 meets mine.
