Hello all I am a PRS-505 user from Washington State.

I began reading e-books on my trusty Sony CLIÉ many years ago. I quickly discovered that I need an external battery adapter to make it across country, let alone across the great pond. Still it was worth it not to lug around all those paper books.

This went on for a few years until one Christmas my sister bought me a Sony PRS-500. I thought I would never use it, as I was satisfied with the CLIÉ and you had to use Sony’s priority e-book format. So than my CLIÉ died and I was forced to use my Sony. Thankfully, most of my e-books where from Baen, which have always provided them in multiple formats, so all I need was a some type of conversion tool. This search led me to Mobileread.

As time went by I lost my PRS-500 and was “forced” to buy a 505, which I love.

So after a couple of years of reading Mobileread for insights into new software and new sources for e-books I decided to take your advice and post an introduction comment.

Greets to all!
