PRS-650 New to the Sony Club

digital_steve · 10-25-2010, 12:23 AM

Hey all,
I just wandered up the road in my lunch break, played with the Sony 350, 650 and Kobo side by side in the book store and wound up being really impressed with the 650... so i bought it!

Strange thing is, i only went in there to buy a clip on light for my Kobo!

Looking forward to getting my books onto this beast and reading with speed and ease!

I hope you enjoy it! I'm really loving mine. Try to avoid the complete shutdown in the menu options. It seems to be buggy for some people.

Steve,

I'm still amazed at how fast the pages turn on these devices!

Me too!
Mine just finished charging at work and i'm playing with it now... it's amazing what a light touch you need for the page turning; awesome!

Can't wait to get home and get my books on it.

Is there anything i should know? New firmware or software required?

I found the answer to this myself... and it's no.
The friggen thing just works, as advertised, straight out of the box.
Easy!
Loving it.

I've had a Kobo and a PRS-650. The Sony is better by a mile. Enjoy!
