*coughs* er-um- I just
might have bought the 505... in silver... *ducks and hides*
The thing is:
none of the eInk-devices are sold here, in my hometown, even if we have 10-15 (depends whether you count the hypermarkets too) different shops that sell electronics...
So I've been reading and reading the past few days, different forums, the mobileread, Wiki... and decided the Sony-700's touch screen wasn't worth the extra 150€. So I placed an order (Play.com doesn't deliver electronic devices outside UK, BTW) on the
Advanced MP3 Players on the 505. I googled for coupons and found this code (jolly) that gave 10% discount. Reader+AC-charger+shipping totalled for £237 (around 280€ - Apolo had it for 350€+shipping)
happyhappy.
Off to search for books. I already found my teenage-favorites : Burroughs' Barsoom-series and Pellucidars - I spent several years (-96-2000) trying to find reprints of them, didn't dare to buy anything from the interwebs back then. Only the 4 first Pellucidars were ever translated to Finnish so I'm happy to finally get to read the rest of them, too. (Added bonus: Now I can read them in their original language
)
