Maybe I should have posted this in the Sony section....

I recently bought two Motorola Droid phones. One for me, one for the wife. To be honest, I really haven't looked at my PRS-505 since. I thought it would be difficult to transition to a small screen...LCD at that. Nope, no problem at all. I even linked mobileread's .epub section to a custom catalog within Aldiko so I can download books directly to my phone. My sister recently sent me a $25 Amazon gift certificate. I downloaded Kindle for Android and proceeded to purchase Jeff Carver's Sunborn as well as two Robin Hobb books for less than $7 each. Life is good.

My wife is hopelessly re-addicted to reading thanks to her Droid. She's currently going through the Twilight series and a frantic pace. She's even gone so far as to rave about the benefits of ebooks on her blog. She loves being able to read just about anything, anywhere, anytime on her phone.

I took my PRS-505 out of my daily carry bag a few weeks ago. I tried turning it on last night and noticed the battery was dead. I guess I should connect it to the charger, but I'm not too worried about it right now. Oh, and thanks to Pandora, I no longer carry an MP3 player around with me. Life is very good.
