I can see why there was such interest in the PRS-505 at the time. Solid aluminum build. Loads ePub without issue. Looks and feels like something an astronaut might use on the moon. For anyone interested, recommend picking up one on eBay or Shopgoodwill and judging for yourself.

I'm curious which Glocusent reading light you bought. I never heard of these before, but it looks like there are quite a few of them.
I've got 505s (no one would ever bid on them at Shop Goodwill), even a couple of the their cases with the built in lights — but those are heavy and kind of unwieldy. The Glocusent light might be the better option.
EDIT:I went ahead and got this one.

It was on sale for about $7.50 with the 10% coupon. The sale was ending in about 3 hours. (One day sale thing.)
