You make some great points about Sony's ability to work with PDF and EPUB books. Amazon's new Kindle DX does support PDF's but it's much larger than the Sony 505 (or the Kindle 2) and is over $450! I agree with you, though, that the Sony 505 is definitely the way to go if you'll mainly be working with PDF files. TravisVS Site Admin Marti:

The fact that I can download both PDF and EPUB books from Boston Public Library sealed my decision to go with the Sony. Most newly released books are available at the library and I don't have to buy any books. I would have to pay for all books if I chose to go with the Kindle. I have been extremely happy with the Sony, which I bought for $259 at BJ's wholesale club. It has a 2-3 week battery life on each charge and is smaller in size than the Kindle. I do believe that not being able to download library books on the Kindle will continue to plague its sales compared with the Sony.
