Had my 505 since October and not a day goes by that I don't use it to read the Wall St. Journal, Newsweek, BBC news, or Engadget on it. Oh, I read books on it too. One of the reasons why I like the Reader over the Kindle (other than looks) is that I don't need to pay for everything I want to do with the machine. I can get newspaper and magazine subscriptions for free, books from mobileread.com and gutenberg.org (to name a couple) for free, convert my books from txt, pdf, html, rtf and throw them into my reader for free. All those things cost money on the Kindle.
The refresh rate from going from page to page isn't all that bad. You can time your button pressing for the next page to correspond to your reading speed.
I love mine and now that Borders has joined up at bordersmedia.com and the fact that the Reader will be compatible with the new Adobe Digital Edition just make it that much better.
