Haaha, thank you NatCh; i've always wondered what that little doo-hickey in the bottom left was for :P
Brighter screen sounds good; the PRS-500 is great when it comes to bright sunlight, but a bit dull when it's late at night and you're sitting on the train (as I do a lot
) as the lights from above don't quite get everywhere. Is there any reduction on reflections? As in, any anti-glare coatings etc. added to the plastic? I found it a bit hard to have to re-adjust the angle, although it's really just a small issue as eventually you get too engrossed in the book to care about a lil' bit of glare. (and even real books get it!!)
I'm thinking I might dish out a little bit more for the 505. I actually found an AUSTRALIAN seller doing it for $350 AUD on E-Bay, brand new in box, and only $10 shipping, which is a heck of a load cheaper than the US sellers going at it for $350 USD and $50 USD shipping, or in one smart guy's case, 250 Euros, haha, item location; Florida
(Someone's losing trust in the value of the American dollar
)
Hopefully the security admin will get around to viewing the video footage today, although i'm not really too confident that they will bother for too long if they can't... Good luck to the thief if he ever tries to upload anything, he'll prolly have to come to MobileRead for all the conversion tools, hehe.
