I donʻt pretend to know all about the various readers out there. What I know, I learned from MR
That being said, my love affair with my 505 started 16mo ago. I do like to check and see whatʻs new out there and what knowledgeable people (aka MRites) have to say about them, and I am still very thankful my husband made the choice to buy me a sony 505. If I had made the purchase at the time, I would have most likely chosen Kindle, as thatʻs the reader that spent a lot of ad money, so thatʻs the only one I knew of.

I think the same thing... I really donʻt like to touch my electronics any more than necessary, and I really dislike touching the screens. Hence my blackberry curve, not my blackberry storm. Itʻs like smudges on my glasses-- clear was not meant to be touched
Anyway, to the OP, I just have an ereader to read read read. If I had different needs, the 505 might not be my best bet. As I love to read books (mostly fiction and nonfiction without images/diagrams), I just want a reader that does just that, and does it well. The 505 still fits that need. And it does it well.
