Yeah, I did. I bought a book from Sony's online store and put that on the reader, but no success.

So I mailed the thing to Texas to the Sony returns place (it's under warranty) and hopefully they'll get me a new one promptly.

WARNING TO ANYONE GETTING A PRS505: Do NOT get the free laser engraving!! This makes it impossible to exchange at a Sony store if anything goes wrong!!

If there's a problem with your reader, you can exchange for free at the store in person if it is not engraved. If it's engraved, you have to mail it to Sony.

I almost feel like it's a scam, offering it for free, because then you're stuck with the thing and have to mail it off.
