I also hated the Sony software but that obstacle was quickly removed as I learned to use (and love) Calibre.
Although I can now switch back/forth easily, I found the Sony was easier to slide into my handbag without sacrificing screen size/clarity. Having page numbers was a big plus. Likewise, I loved the ability to organize into Collections (although having set up a Jetbook for my mom, my big wish is for a second level of folders). The Sony is now my primary reader.

I'm still more in the play and get to know the 505 mode mostly. I have a text file I'm using to keep track of the features I like best or wish I had for both the K2 and 505. I'm using the available 505 hacks, as I have with my K2, to personalize the 505 to fit my needs and reading style. I don't see the 505 becoming my primary reader because I really like the access the keyboard gives me. I missed the search and highlight functions while reading Under the Dome. Not every or even most books inspire me to type a note or highlight but I like having the option.
That said, I love the collections feature, the dedicated bookmark button and the screen on the 505.
The jury is still out on ePub itself. I'm still not quite getting the big deal other than more download options.
