So yeah, read, flip switch, carry in bag, flip switch, read. It works very well.

Interesting, I wasn't aware that it didn't actually turn the device off. But if it has to re-juice the screen, then isn't it still using a little battery juice? It may seem silly (a single "flip") -- and maybe it is -- but it's just a thought. Good input though, thanks.

Oh, and I guess one last thing. The prices at Sony's store aren't always great, that's true. However, there are in fact several other online ebook sellers that will allow you to download books in a variety of formats, often at more competitive prices. It's the work of a few seconds to convert most popular formats to one compatible with the PRS-505.

Really?! If someone would write or reference me a guide to this, that'd be fantastic.
