I've been lurking for a while but once I saw that the Sony PRS-505 might be coming to the UK as an official Sony product, my interest in a portable electronic reader has been rekindled (!).

It's partly gadget envy - I've always thought iPods and the like were really cool, but since I never listen to music on the move I don't need one. But being able to carry books with me all the time, in a convenient slim device would be great. From what I read, the Sony store has loads of popular science and non-fiction, and since they're my favourite genres, I think a Sony might be the way to go, if the rumours are true and the PRS-505 is coming to the UK.

PS Am I the only one who was completely astounded when what we thought were pictures of the Kindle prototype were actually pictures of the finished product?
