Same with me Scarpad I've had my 505 since early January and I still find myself, as I'm finishing a page, absent-mindedly sliding my right index finger to the top right hand side of the reader to turn the page.

I've done that too! And I agree about the "book-ness" of the Reader being a big plus. I don't notice the device when I'm in the middle of a good read. I appreciate it more when I see/pick up a Kindle. Glad I'm not lugging around that extra bulk and a useless keyboard when all I want to do is read books. I have a blackberry for short web-access tasks.

Sony, So well made that it's easy to use even when stoned.

Kindle, so poorly made that you can only use it when totally not stoned or drunk.
