[Falbe Publishing]

My very first actual ebook reader arrived yesterday. And it is such a delightful gadget.

So what was my first ebook reader experience like?

I could read off the screen fine without strain, and I was reading in bed with only a small lamp on.

I did have to bump up the font size to the highest setting (which I still would not call big) but it was readable.

I must say that I was not in love with pushing the little button to turn the page. I also did not like how the advance page was on top of the reverse page button. I think it would be more comfortable to reverse the placement of these buttons. I was always worried I'd push the back button by mistake.

I think the Sony 505 is a very attractive gadget. I really like how the cover closes it like a book and the leather cover makes it look very elegant and sophisticated.

When I told my mom how attractive it was, it made her reconsider the Sony. She's leaning toward Kindle because of its wireless connectivity, but she does agree that it is ugly, which, in a stereotypical female way, is an issue!

I'm looking forward to loading up the library in my 505 and always having something on hand to read.
