But the image quality is better on the 505, so it's a toss up which is better. I got fed up with Amazon and their restrictions, so I went ahead and purchased one of the Sony readers. I can't get books instantly now, so I have no problem with having to hook up to a computer to get my books. It's still far more convenient than going to the bookstore.
