Sony recently announced a couple new Reader eink electronic books, the Sony Reader Pocket Edition and Touch Edition that are both now available. The Daily Edition is coming in a couple of months and will be a bit larger with wireless capability. The Touch Edition is the same size as the PRS-505, but adds a touchscreen display with integrated dictionary and note taking capability.
