Sony PRS-505 is on sale at Fry's for $260...it's only 8 grayscale levels (compared to 4 for the Kindle I and 16 for Kindle II).
Will have to check that out. It doesn't have landscape, but I can't find any model that really supports it (Astak/Bebook claims to, but it's just their highest zoom level). And the wireless isn't worth a $100 premium to me...
I have both the PRS 500 and the Kindle. I gave the 500 to my wife after getting my Kindle. The free whispernet is worth the price difference. I was in an area with no wifi and wanted to download a newspaper and a book and was able to do so in no time at all.

Nevermind, it does have landscape. Very cool.
So...no wireless and no search. Is that worth $100 to people? Anyone used both the Kindle and Sony and have opinions?
