I have a *BLUE* Sony 505 and live in the USA.
I had to order the Silver 505. The Blue one clashed with my hair. Besides, everyone knows that you can read a silver one faster than a blue one. The Lone Ranger didn't use blue bullets, did he?

I keep my other downloads in folders on my computer then just transfer to the Reader. Right now, I have found everything that I want in the lrf, epub, and PDF (formats that the Sony uses) ... Later, I will venture into converting other formats into those used by my Reader. (Calibre will do conversions)
I've made a separate drive just for my book downloads. So far, I have 92.8 gigabytes of book files. That translates into 63,981 different books.
That should hold me for a few weeks... especially since I haven't received my reader yet. I expect it to be delivered this week. I'm really getting excited!

Thanks! This does seem to be a very friendly and helpful forum! A quick question; which formats (besides the native lrf,) does Sony handle without conversion, and which formats will convert with the most accuracy? I've been downloading all of the various ones figuring I can always delete them later if they don't work.
