The PRS 500 was Sony's first of the new series readers and originally released about 4 years ago. I hope you got it very cheaply. You would have been better off with the Sony 505, which was the replacement model for the 500. It had a better screen and could handle ePub format files with a downloadable upgrade to its firmware.
