Hi, I'm a newbie - and looking to jump into the e-reader pool. I've written about my research and shared my "wish-list" here. I have also written posts similar to this in the Hanlin V3 forum and the Cybook G3 forum.

My first choice was either the Sony 700 or Sony 505. Then I looked at them at a Borders and came away unimpressed with the 700's display and a little hesitant about the design of the 505 (buttons on the side). So I have been looking at others (albeit I have not crossed the 505 off the list yet).

The Cybook G3 and the EZ Reader caught my eye - due to design and the format support. However, I have to say, while lurking in other forums, there is a lot of evidence of unhappiness (or at least, dwindling patience). Which causes me to think twice and thrice.

So, can you please tell me - why do you love your PRS-505? What is it that makes you want to curl up and get cozy with it? Or, if the relationship has cooled off, please tell me why - or, if you hate it now and want to get a restraining order issued and banish it from your life forever, then why?

Thanks so much for your opinions and shared wisdom.
