MobileRead Forums - View Single Post - not updating screen refresh disappointing overall?

Rocketime · 10-05-2007, 12:50 PM

Was wondering if this poll may be a bit early? How many people currently have both the 500 and 505? The only place I can find to purchase one is a Sony store or Amazon? I've had my 500 for 4 months and unless their are MAJOR upgrades, I can't see buying a new one.

I hold mine in the left hand so I like the page turner position. From the pics here on the forum, the screen is noticably brighter but $300 worth? I have no problems with the refresh rate on the 500 but I do like the alpha index for installed books on the 505.

All in all, I think I'll wait for the next evolution of readers after the 505.
