Sony Exchanged My Year Old PRS-505 - Awesome customer service!!

[pclewis]

I dropped mine and broke the glass. Sent it in for the repair, got a refurbed one back in less than a week. They never even charged me.

I have had the 505 since they allowed us old 500 people to upgrade. Only issue now is that ePub is not the greatest on the 505. Sometimes, depending on the publisher it has terrible font sizes. Then I remove the ecryption and convert ePub to ePub on Calibre. It works, but a bit of a PITA.

I have no idea what I will get next. Don't need wireless or keyboards and I like the smaller size for what I read. If a book has alot of illustrations, buy the book.

I have a 505 and I used the PRSplus hack. Now I have placed the free fontin fonts on my reader and use a simple style.css file to cause all epubs to use my fonts automatically. The style sheet could also be used to adjust font size. Check out daffy4u's Grand Experiment for one users experience expanding her 505's ability to cope with epub.
