The primary problem with Sony Reader is that it is too expensive. A new model that is $100 more expensive is counter-productive. I would buy the 505 for $150 or $200 or if I could get a $150-$200 credit for purchasing e-books. The second problem with Sony Reader is that, for optimum readability, books need to be reformatted and resized specifically for its screen. Novels are okay as-is because they are laid out for small pages, but technical books' pages are usually too large to port over as-is.
