But today I stopped into my local Costco and noticed that they are still selling the 500. They sell it at $249 with $50 CONNECT credit, so it is a $100 value over the 505.
The question is, are the benefits of the 505 worth more than $100?

First, check out the titles offered by Sony Connect against your wife's preferences/tastes. Also check out Fictionwise and Mobipocket for their title selection. If most of what your wife wants is in the Connect site, go for the 505. If not, but they are in the Fictionwise and Mobipocket sites, buy her a Bookeen Cybook Gen3. I know it's more expensive, but the title availability is much greater.
