hi there! getting my PRS-505 soon
I've been looking at eReaders and been a long-time sony fan so it was a natural choice to go with a PRS-505 (used from amazon marketplace). I'm also traveling to Europe in about 2 weeks and plan on taking the reader with me. A few questions please:
1) what is the best travel cover for it (silver)? 2) where can i get some free classics (1001 Arabian Night Stories, Greek mythologies, etc) in a compatible format? I look forward to learning and contributing on the forum. |

Hello Teaberry. Welcome to the forum . I'm also new here and am awaiting my refurbished sony prs505 sc.
About the classics: Have you looked at the upload section here on mobileread? They have a lot of classics specifically formatted for the Sony. You can also try project Gutenberg of course, but a lot of the books here are from project Gutenberg, just cleaned up and reformatted for all the different devices. Just look underneath the mobileread logo . You'll see a blue bar. Click ebooks and your there. Maryse. |

If you're travelling without your laptop/computer, I'd recommend getting a Sony PSP AC charger and an outlet converter pack.

I still would love suggestions on a cover, something not too pricey yet light and possibly spill proof while protecting the screen and body well. |

Hi teaberry and welcome to Mobileread. I have both the MEdge Executive and Leisure covers. The Leisure cover is very useful for travel. The reader fits into a padded recess and has a clear plastic front through which you can read. Although not waterproof, it is water resistant and very handy for the pool, boating etc. I use mine at the gym and also on travel, placing the reader into the padded recess screen first.
Check here for details https://www.mobileread.com/forums/sho...ighlight=medge |
