And I do speak from considerable personal experience, as you can see from the list of devices under my profile on the left. The 505 was a very nice machine in its day, but it's since been superseded by many other devices.

Among its shortcomings are:
  • Rather poor ePub support, with no support for full justification and a 300k "flow" limit.
  • No folder support.
  • No search facility.
  • No dictionary lookup.
  • No annotation of any kind.

Personally, I'd suggest looking at the Pocketbook 360 for a 5" device, the BeBook Neo / Onyx Book 60 for a 6" device, or the iRex DR800SG as an 8" device. All are, IMHO considerably better than the Sony.
