Hi Forum Members,

This is my first post here and I want to say I am happy I found this place because it is so helpful.

I am interested in buying the Sony Reader and I was at the SonyStyle store today to take a look at it. The store has both models: PRS-500 and PRS-505. The older model is about $20 cheaper...

As far as I could tell in playing with both models, and as it was already mentioned here on the forum, the PRS-505 has a whiter screen and it is a bit easier to read. But as for speed performance when changing pages, I honestly couldn't see much difference between both models.

Is it worth getting the new model? I realize it is only $20 more...so I guess newer is always better???

Also, regarding the gray scale, I could not find on the reader where you change that setting. And what does it exactly do? Does that make the fonts more gray or less gray??

I apologize if these questions were already asked.

Thanks.
