MR is certainly populated by its fair share of snobs and nonsense, but not really more than its fair share.
In keeping with the title of this particular thread, the iPad is so many lightyears ahead of any eInk device out there that there's really not much comparison to be made.
I loved my Sony 505 until the day I got the iPad. I haven't picked up the Sony since. The iPad is indeed hands down a better reader in all respects. Apple has some work to do with enhancing their ePub capabilities, but I mainly read PDF anyway, and Goodreader takes care of all my needs in that area. Yet even if Apple were to leave their ePub reader untouched, it would still beat any other eInk device out there six ways from Sunday. My Sony is going on eBay, and I'll never look back.

So you talk about MRs snobbery then go on to spout such statements as the iPad is hands down better than any eink reader? Especially when you state that most of your reading is PDF. Its common knowledge that the 6" ereaders dont handle pdf very well and for pdfs the iPad is awesome.
For casual ereading, the prs505 blows it away, namely for screen clarity, and weight. i find it somewhat difficult to read on my side with the iPad, and an iPod Touch or my prs505 makes for a much better choice.
