For what it's worth, I have a 505, and I'm probably going to sell it to get a Nook. In my mind, the nook is at least as good as the 505. The reason for the Nook - Sony software makes me cry. I know, I know, I use calibre as well, but it just all around irks me that Sony makes a great hardware device, then can't figure out how to give you the software to run it.
Also, there was an article posted here a few weeks ago analyzing average book prices between kindle, BN, and Sony, and the kindle stores were most likely the cheapest, then BN, then Sony. While I know how to de-drm Amazon books to read them on my 505, it would be nice to not have to do that extra step (meaning BN pricing is probably comparable to Amazon for the books i read).
Hope this helps!
