Please help me rationalize my purchase decision while I wait! |
1. There is no way to read eReader ebooks with DRM. No eink device supports that flavor of DRM.
2. That nobody can answer.
3. If you want to purchase ebooks without DRM then you'd need to purchase MS Reader format ebooks and remove the DRM and in that case, the 505 is a better choice as converting LIT to LRF using lit2lrf is a better choice. Also, there are more LRF books in the E-Books section then any of the others,
4. That is a possibility.
5. If you order it from NAEB, you could be waiting longer. But you will pay less for shipping as long as you are in the USA. And you'll have a less expensive place to send it if it needs warranty repair. Also the bundle NAEB is selling is different then the deluxe bundle for $75 less. So is the difference in NAEB's bundle vs. the Deluxe from Bookeen worth the price difference?
if you don't mind pruchasing MS Reader format ebooks and converting, then I would say the 505 is what I would go for. Oh wait, I did.
