In other case, yes, with Sony you have more selection if you go to ePub.

Ah. Back a year ago, when I was researching them, I was told that you had to load your books (even if it was your own stuff, like my calendar, book list, etc., that I carry around on my 505) via Amazon and whispernet. Not that it would have made a difference -- the hands-on experience was what killed the Kindle for me. All that space wasted for a keyboard and the edge that could have been screen! And it really felt chintzy, like it would break if I pressed a button too hard.
I might have made a different decision today, now that there are a lot more ebook readers on the market, but as it stands, I'm happy with the Sony. Not so happy with Sony itself, which seems to be trying to pretend that the 505 never existed, but Sony sucks anyway. They just happen to have made, in my humble opinion, the perfect ebook reader.
