The 600 is not an eReader. It is a Reader. eReader refers to software to handle eReader format eBooks. eReader does not refer to hardware at all. eReader is digital bits only.

Ah. So you don't have an iPad after all. Well yes, it's likely an iPhone is a higher target for a thief. Just as a BMW is a higher target than a VW Bug. The market for a hot 505 is, pretty low, I'd think. Doesn't make your 505 any better than the iPhone.
My 505 is a better device for straight reading then an iPhone. So yes, in that case, it is a better choice. Sure, I can read using an iPhone, but I do prefer my 505.

Ok, my iPad won't fit in a pocket, but it will easily fit in a backpack, something you still won't be doing with that 102" display you mentioned earlier.
I didn't bring up the 102" screen.
