I've been lurking around the forum for quite some time, so I thought I'd finally join in. I originally purchased a PRS-500 as a Christmas present for my mother (she's partially-sighted, and so her reading options are very restricted) - the ability to reformat non-DRM'd books and increase the font size will be brilliant for her. Unfortunately, as soon as I saw her Reader, I was consumed with envy and have just GOT to have one for myself!!
