I've had my Sony PRS-500 ever since they were available. I was on the waiting list after the debut at the Los Vegas show. I have not been disappointed with the reader, but the Connect website has a lot to be desired.

Mostly, I buy my books from the Connect website, but some titles are not on the website. So, I have a ScanSnap now that I use at work (I teach math), and during the summers, I scan books that are not available in eformat into Word docs.

In the next few weeks, I'm considering using the trade in option offered by Sony to get the PRS-505. Basically, I want to be able to use the 8MG memory stick that is not supported with the PRS-500.

Currently I'm reading the Dark Tower series by Stephen King. Next up: Hot, Flat, and Crowded, then The Kite Runner.

See you all on the boards.
