With all the speculation going on about Sony's new readers that may be replacing the existing models I was thinking of buying a 2nd 505 just in case they become discontinued or something. I really love my 505 and from what I have read on this forum the new readers may not be something I want to change to if my 505 dies. Anyway in my town a local pawn shop has a prs 505 for a very good price. I am tempted to buy it as a back up but because it is used how would I be able to get it to work on my computer and with my books? I assume any books that are already on it will no longer function as soon as Iplug it into my computer and try to somehow register it is that correct????
