I imagine purchasing a Sony PRS 505 at Home Depot as at least a six trip project, because on the first trip, they would send you home with a Sony TV after swearing it was the perfect thing to read digital books on .... second trip, return TV, and they send you home with a toaster, third trip, return toaster, and you get a Kindle (which you like, but it's not what you had decided on). Fourth trip, return Kindle and they talk you into a few gallons of Ortho Max. Fifth trip, return Ortho Max, pick up Spectracide ... then get back home and realize ... you STILL don't have anything to read digital books on .... and then you give up and drive an hour to Borders.
pffff !!
