I have found a 4 month old "excellent" condition Sony 505 in silver for $150 here locally. It comes with the internal memory only, which I believe is 256mb.

Is that a good way to go for the money? Or should I look at the new jetbook for a bit less money? Or go with a new Aluratek Libre Pro with 2 gb included memory for $20 more? Or finally, a new Sony 300 for around $50 more?

I am currently searching the forums...it seems that the 505 is held in very high regard, although to my knowledge it only provides 3 font sizes, which is a potential concern I have, in that the fonts may not be large enough.

My laptop has Calibre on it, I assume that will work with any of the above?

Thanks
Snap it up!
