Bob,
Since I take my SONY PRS -500 with me wherever I go, several people have asked me about the product. I'm always happy to give a sales pitch for SONY.
Once, while waiting for my turn in the barber's chair, a young guy sitting next to me asked about the product and said that he would send one to his father who apparently was in a war zone. He said he was now sending boxes of books to his father and thought sending the SONY Reader, pre-loaded with a lot of free books, would make more sense.
Several of my students after leaning about the device said that they would order their own.
And a colleague of mine is waiting now for her SONY Reader after having examined mine.
Of course, they'll all be getting the newer PRS-505 model.
I think SONY may owe me (us?) a bit for the sales pitches.
