=================================
Thanks to all for pm's.
I am going to assume that the sale is pending for 48 hours ( Oct22)(Fernadette) to give us time to connect.
I will answer PM here so folks can see where things are.
I would prefer not to mail outside the US as I don't really know how to do it.
I know I would do my part honorably but I have friends who have had issues with mail arriving safely overseas.
I would be open to sending to someone in the states who might be traveling abroad and hand deliver to you.
================================================== ============
Here are answers to questions sent to me:

The 505 is essentially brand new. I only read Baldacci Total Control and Ken Folletts Pillars of the Earth but downloaded approximately 50-60 of the free ones given to new buyers from Sony.

There are no scratches whatsoever on the screen and it is truly in new condition. I discarded the cover that came with it and purchased a more expensive leather cover for the reader. In addition, I have put it in a small cordura Bible cover. This fits very nicely and has a zipper that keeps the whole thing snug.

The update to the firmware went flawlessly. It has the new firmware installed.

I will send the reader by UPS with tracking number. It will be coming from Wyoming.

I do not use EBAY so I don't have reputaton there. If you send PM I will send you email and phone
number so you can call me for information. I can also text picture if you wish.
If it would make you feel more comfortable, I can give you the Sheriff's department phone number.
It is a small town and they know everyone..

================================================== =============
Person in Germany who sent PM.... Do you have a friend who is a pilot who I could
send to in the USA and they could deliver to you? I would feel better doing that
than trying to send as gift etc.
================================================== =======
Person in Asia... Same thing. Do you have friend studying in USA that I
could send to?
================================================== ==
PilotBob...thanks for suggestion.
