Yep, we did it. My wife is now a proud owner of a silver PRS-505 as well. She was going out of town last weekend and I had to stay home. She tends to get bored at nights, esp. when I can't be there so I got her a Reader to keep her entertained. I think she uses her Reader more than I do and mine goes with me everywhere. LOL

Even better, her 16 y/o sister who lives with us wants one now too. So we may wind up with 3 of them.

Any advice for multi-reader households?

I have my wife's Reader set up on my account with Sony as she is on a Mac and can't use their software. I figured she could get the same books I have already bought that way. We mainly use Calibre for both OS's to convert and transfer books as well as a general library tool. She has noticed that the Mac version with drag on for hours when converting a book until she has to cancel it and restart the program.

I also figure that if we just set up my Fictionwise account as a family account, we will be able to share any books there as well.
