Whats the absolute BEST accessory you have for your 505? - Page 2

Definitely my tri-fold cover! I've been thinking about getting a camera strap for it, as I frequently walk around the house reading and I have read far too many horror stories about people dropping their readers.

I love the ziplock bag idea.

Another VERY important accessory--my New York Public Library Card! I paid the $100/yr non-resident fee, and it's been worth every penny for the huge amount of books it gives me access to. (I also have osme cards to some of the local Northern California libraries, but their selection doesn't compare to NYPL.)

You can try a vacuum sealed bag. Those would work.

Add another for the Light-Wedge cover. I had settled with using a headlamp in bed and if I rolled over wrong would shine the light in my wife's eyes and scare the @#$@# out of her... The Light-Wedge is perfect for reading in bed.

The charger for my PSP, I haven't played my PSP since last year so I'm glad that at least a part of it is still useful to me.

My custom leather cover! It creates the feeling that I am holding a well loved leatherbound classic at the same time satisfying my love for gadgets...a perfect match!

WOW!

Nice cover!

TS-Rick · 03-03-2009, 10:27 AM

Nice cover!!
Where did you get it?

AlbertaCowboy · 03-03-2009, 10:51 AM

I had it custom made by an outfit in Calgary. I have a post in the "Anyone Else Draw On Their Cover" thread, but I can't figure out how to link it... Check it out if you are so inclined, there are some pics and the company link. (Note that I am not affiliated with the comapy in any way, Im just happy with the work they did for me.)

Best device is a magnifying visor with attached light from Harbor Freight. Google for it, only $9.99.

The AC adapter/charger I bought for my 505 (even if I did pay full price for it before I found out the PSP charger would work!) and my brand new tri-fold cover, since the plastic hinge on the old cover snapped off!

Very Nice! I do leathercrafting and I was thinking of making my own cover. However, I am having issues on the design for it. I like the map of Middle Earth.. hmm... gives me ideas.

I also nominate the lighted wedge cover. No longer do I have to search for where I put my light last. Not to mention, the batteries seem to last considerably longer than those in my Verilux light.

The PSP charger... And Calibre, and =X='s BookCreator macro...

For me it's the Light Wedge and a wrist strap - used when commuting via the train, tethered to my wrist while holding on to a bar. I would hate to get bumped and drop my Reader.

(1) Calibre
(2) My local library's ebook collection
(3) PSP charger
(4) At-A-Glance zippered cover
