I have to agree. Since I got an iPad, my old Sony 505 rarely gets used.
The iPad is a good ebook reader now. And because it is a new device, improved ebook apps will surely be written for it over the next 12 months or so.
When Sony stopped making the 505, I bought a backup in case my original got damaged. But despite a lot of abuse, the original is still chugging along faultlessly. It's a very well built gadget.
I don't know what I'm going to do with the backup unit. I suppose if someone in Melbourne offered me $200, I might take it. That price sounds about right. At the moment, it just lives in a cupboard with all my other unused electronic devices.
Apologies for sounding like an Apple fanboy. The iPad is my first Apple device and it's hard to suppress my enthusiasm for it.
