Ok I'm late adding to this post but it caught my eye so I wanted to add my answers.

I have an ipod touch, and had no problems reading on it. Initially, I thought the screen would be way too small, but I managed to finish an entire book without any eye strain, etc. I probably wouldn't read a really long book on it, but I definitely could stand 200-300 pages.

I've never had any problems with blurriness on my 505. Of course, I've never had another ebook reader so I really have nothing to compare it to.

I find it interesting that as a Kindle owner, you don't recommend the Kindle. I occasionally read the Amazon forums, and usually any criticism of the Kindle is quickly blasted by others there.
Yeah, I've actually noticed this in most forums related to the amazon Kindle. So I stay away. I only go to find out about free books.

Me too!!! I'm holding out for Shelfari/Goodreads to make an app and for Sony to make an app.
