I had a nook on order but have decided to wait for the 2nd generation, as I want to be able to enjoy my reading experience and not let the technology get in the way.

I do have some ebooks which I read on my phone and computer, most in epub, some in pdb. I do use calibre and ADE and I do have a fondness for cabbages so I guess I'm not too concerned with formats. I have the opportunity to purchase a very reasonably priced (considering the current market) PRS-505 and also a NIB Kindle 2 locally for a substantial discount. This would be my first ebook reader. Now my question is, which one??? I've read and read and read... since I don't have a lot of criteria other than the enjoyment of reading my books it's somewhat difficult for me to pick one over the other. So... which one would you pick over the other and why?
