Hi all. After some deliberation (I cancelled my order from one supplier, then ordered it again the next day - from a different supplier, cheaper!) I am now the proud new owner of a Sony PRS-505. Shiny.

I've downloaded shedloads of free books via ManyBooks, plus the free CD which came with the reader. I'm also busy ordering, trying, and sending back, different cases. Hated the TufLuv, am just about to try the TriFold.

Cursing myself for ordering a charger from eBay now I realise I could have just used my PSP charger. Ah well, only a fiver spent.

I downloaded Calibre before the Reader arrived, and can't really see the point of using the Sony software after experiencing Calibre.

Finding it a bit of a struggle to find books I actually want to *buy*, though; I knew this would be difficult, having done some research, but disappointed just how difficult. And how expensive Waterstone's ebooks are. We shall see how I fare as I find my way around the different ebook sites available.

I would like to thank whoever included pandalol in the smilies. It cheered me up by several degrees when I saw it in a post on the forums at the weekend.
