I only have my one 505. If I could manage to save up enough for another one I would buy one and get my mom into the ebook generation. I know doesn't make as much sense for her as it does for me since she doesn't tend to read books over again like I do. I still want to be able to get her one though since we do read a lot. She buys books only to have them read once or maybe twice. So I want to be able to get her a reader where she can get all her new books and not worry about the waste of paper just sitting on all our shelves. Course I don't think I could get rid of any of the ones I have now... considering my mother reads some of them here and there. It would be a start though if I had two readers. Try to get her in the game and hope she would get hooked to it like me.

I personally just like being able to stay warm in my covers while still being able to read. I tend to read big books and you always have to have an arm out of the covers to hold the pages down and to turn the pages.. ebook readers solve that issue very well.
