Hi there,

I just came back from vacation and I had the chance to try out my new PRS-505. I did read a total of 5 books and I am pretty happy with it. The reader does not take a lot of space and it works well. After one week of intensive use (3 books) the battery was still 3/4 full. so very good. The readability under different conditions was very good and the only draw back is the fact that I was reluctant to use it on the beach because of the sand. Other than that the Sony reader was a good choice for my needs. It saved a lot of space in my luggage! One other thing did bother me but this had to do with the books I bought. From the 10 books I bought only one had a summary and 2 had a title page. So the quality of the ebooks should be much better.

Regards

Wolfgang
