I haven't tested an e-Ink device in person, and don't think I can. My purchase will be online and shipped from the States because you don't really get e-readers locally. The few places that have them only have one or two, and no test models. So, I'm going to have to take the plunge in unchartered (for me) waters.

Is this a reason: the 505 will set me back an extra $40 or so. Worth the extra cash? (It's not about the money, per se; I can easily afford the extra 40 bucks. I just dislike spending money unless I feel it's worth the difference.)

Alas, if only it were that easy. They all call to me for one reason or another. The Kobo becuase it looks good. I like the clean and simple design, and the 'quilted' back is nice, too. (At least, it looks nice in the pics. I've never seen it physically to know how it is in person.) But, because of its 'newness' and bare-bones features, I have basically eliminated it.
I like the format support and price of the Libre, but it's ugly as sin. And I like the 505 for all the praise the device gets on MobileRead.
*sigh*
