- blue one is nice
I like how the blue one looks blueish-black , nice color and it looks expensive.
Calibre is the program you need to convert pdf's and other formats to this device.
Some of the negative reviews come from conversion problems but this is fixed if you use the Free calibre program.
You can collect news sites from web and download them automatically to the device everyday using that program.
As to books , Google-sony has 500,000 of them for FREE in ... Read More
Rating: - A Worthwhile Investment
I just received my blue PRS-505 and let me say, this thing is an absolute beauty. The dimensions are all there, but it is pretty much the size of a normal paperback book, while the screen is slightly smaller. The screen size (or lack thereof) was my first impression; but on my list of things wrong with this device, the screen size will probably be the last on the list. I quickly got used to it to the point that it's really a non-issue. In fact, I see the small form factor a more of a plus than anything, ... Read More
Rating: - Sony PRS-505
I was interested in this Sony Ebook because I don't like bulky books.This ebook is wonderful.Works perfectly.The only thing I wish they would change is a formatting for Mac.I can download my ebooks on an old laptop which is fine but sure wish Sony wouldfix it so we could use our MAC.
I chose the Sony over the Kindle as I didn't care for the keyboard on the Kindle.Plus I saved money going to Amazon and Vann's.
I am an avid reader, love it.Can't find anything wrong with it yet.

Hi,
I received my book reader a week ago and I'm fascinated by it. I'm a book worm and now I don't have to travel carring 8 to 10 books. Just my reader. The screen don't let your eyes get tired, it's small and easy to carry around. A tip - I had a lot of books in my computer and when I add them to the reader, some titles desapear, so Instead of the book name , I got just a partial title or so. This is easily solved with the calibre program. It converts your files to the .lrt from the reader and you ... Read More
Rating: - Key Features win over the Kindle
After my first PRS-505/LC broke (dropped and hit a table corner at just the wrong place), I considered the new Kindle.Two features prevented the switch.(1) I could still read the eBooks on my computer while the PRS-505 was broken (I was overseas at the time) - you can't do this with a Kindle, and (2) you can set up categories for books (called Collections) - I read many series of books that I like to keep in order - you can't do that with the Kindle.
