I have only had it for a couple of days. I was thinking of getting a refurbished 500 from Sony but the 505 is much nicer.

I am new to this hand held reader world and was very skeptical about it but I am now sold on it. My eye sight is just not as good as it was and so making the fonts bigger is really great.

I have a very large library of files on my computer that I was just not going to read without this kind of device.

The idea was kindled in my mind from reading about the Kindle but did not like the fact that I had to depend upon them for getting content onto my device. I also refuse to buy something sight unseen. One a held a 505 at a Borders, I was sold.

Best of luck to you.
