I only knew the name of two book-sized readers when I went to buy one; Kindle and Sony. Amazon refused to ship to me here in Japan. They wouldn't send me either a Kindle or a Sony! So I went to my old stand-by for international sales, B&H Video in NY, who were more than happy to send me a Sony of my own-y.
I don't need a dictionary when I'm reading. I don't annotate books I read for pleasure. I have no need to connect to the Internet with my reader, nor to I need to highlight parts of a book. The Sony 505 lets me read comfortably, stores a years full of books in it's memory, and lasts me two weeks of reading on a charge.
I'm more than satisfied with my choice. In fact, I'm quite pleased with it!
