Hi All,

I just purchased my Sony PRS-505 from Borders, after about a year of indecision. I've read ebooks for years on my PDA --- first a Palm M130 and then a Palm Tungsten-E, and I've enjoyed the experience but was annoyed at having to recharge the PDA everyday.

Since buying the Sony eReader PRS-505 I've bought three books from Sony Connect, downloaded 100 free classics through the new customer offer, played with BookDesigner and Book Creator, and converted a bunch of books I had on my computer over to lrf files with MakeLRFGui. I picked up a 2Gig SD card at Staples last night for $15.00. I'm about ready to play with the LibPRS500 software and see how that works.

I love the quality of the e-ink, the heft of the device, and the reading experience. The inverse color switch on page turning is no worse than flipping a page of a paperback book.

Now the only thing is to remember to get up off my ass and exercise every once and a while!
