Cybook is 4 grayscale vs. PRS-505 is 8 grayscale
Hello,
I was under the impression that both devices are using Vizplex. Is there an owner of the PRS-505 that can compare the screen of the PRS-505 to the Cybook for me? Based on the postings of the lucky new Cybook owners I would say they're the same. Thanks! |

The screens are the same, but the controllers are different. Black text will appear the same on both devices, but the 505 can display more grey scales.

JoeC, I see in your device list that you have a Sony device that reads eReader format books. When did Sony put out a device that reads eReader format books? Is this a firmware upgrade I missed?

JSWolf - I made that entry when I was an ignorant newbie. I just changed it. Please forgive me!
