Just got myself a shiny new prs-505

Hi all,

After months of waiting, I finally took the plunge and got myself an ereader. For those that want to know, it's silver. As everyone knows, the silver reader is faster, classier and their owners are better looking and have a higher intelligence than owners of blue or red readers

Welcome to MR, cheese bogart (officially now with Reader) and congratulations on your new 505 (even though it is Silver).

Sadly, the PR information on the attributes of the Silver over the *BLUE* or Red Reader must have been taken from the *BLUE* manual. (See my signature line).... **just kidding**

Don't forget to check out the Wiki, writers' corner, Deals and Freebies section, and check out all the free books. The blue bar above takes you to the lrf and epub formats for the 505 and they are beautifully formatted by the members here on MR.

Are you only saying that because you couldn't find a BLUE Reader? It's ok if that is the case.

I am considering started a self-help group for all of the Red and Silver owners who are jealous of the BLUE Reader but have trouble expressing their desire.

BTW, congrats on your purchase and welcome to the club.

Thanks for the welcome (even if some of you are disillusioned blue owners; you really need to go and seek help!)

Well you would be! As you can see I have a larger than average head (so that the XL brain can fit in) which goes well with my slim to athletic build to finish off my good looks.

There must be a reason why it is called LaBlatt Blue, not LaBlatt Silver, eh?

It's nice to see that there are still people around who can make informed, rational decisions!
Obviously there are many who exhibit "Silver Envy" but we love them anyway. Being a proud silver owner myself, I can personally attest to an increase in mental acuity, (if not improved spelling ability,) enhanced physical appearance (as demonstrated by the numbers (one,) of adoring women [and cats] I've had to chase away,) and a significant increase in my bank account. (It's now almost up to double digits! )

But as we here in MR Forms are in fact actually 'color blind,' and all one large family under the (book) covers, please enjoy your new e-reader, search out the wonderful free books that members have uploaded here, and join the fun!

There is one advantage to owning a silver 505; it qualifies you for handicapped parking!
