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. |
Yes, if the Sony 900 had a Wacom screen I would have considered buying it. A touch screen does make navigation a lot quicker and the reader can be used as a notebook. But a regular touch screen for a reader and finger prints all over it? And reduced readability due to the touch screen layer on top of the reading screen? Yes, some people are fine with it, but it seems Sony is losing a lot of customers with that decision.
