Even battery life, as some posts ago I saw discussed, is not so important for me: how many pages do you happen to turn, in a typical reading session?

Most important I find the supported formats: I dont see HTML on Sony, and that puzzles me - possibly I will go html->rtf...

Alessandro,

As I don't have the PRS-505, I can't say how well it will handle HTML. But the Cybook handles HTML ebooks - those that are all-in-one-file - just fine. It does not handle HTML hyperlinks to previous/next files all that well. However, my sample unit is, as I have stated numerous times, at version 0.91 of the firmware and there are supposed to be significant upgrades in how it handles HTML - as well as PDF support, as promised. I'm both frustrated at the current - in my device - firmware and eager to see the updated firmware.
