Kindle 2 vs. Sony PRS-505?

Kindle 2 vs. Sony PRS-505? I was about to buy the kindle 2, but then I heard about how they could take books back anytime they wanted. I then turned to the sony PRS-505. The sony is about $40 less than the kindle. I dont need the wireless whispernet technology the kindle 2 has to offer, but it would have been nice to have. In the sony book store books cost more than they do in the kinle store, but with the kindle you are limited to only kindle 2 ebooks. I like that i get to save the $40 with the sony.... but which one should I get? Sony PRS-505 or the Kindle 2?

Recently, Amazon take back the Kindle books "1984" and "Animal Farm" just because they are pirate version. The publisher indeed doesn't have the right to publish the book. So personally I think it is quite reasonable for them to take the book back and issue a refund back to the book buyers.

I'm a Kindle 2 owner. I don't think Amazon can take any book back if there aren't any good reasons. I personally have bought over 20 Kindle books, and a number of my friends also have the Kindle, but we haven't met such a problem so far... I'll say it is just some exceptional case. More...
