Hi I am new here. I have been lurking for 2 months reading everything, trying to figure out which reader to get. I kept going back and forth. And being as there isn't anywhere near where I live to see them, I was totally relying on you all. I thought I would get the 600 but they weren't for sale last week, didn't really need notes etc and I got impatient, so I got the 505. It just arrived this morning. I played with it a bit before starting to charge it.
First I think it is great. One thing I was very surprised about was how grey the screen was. It is very clear, but I hadn't realized it would be so grey. I thought it might be too bright. I was also surprised at how heavy it was, nicely so, but heavier than I expected. I have been reading a bit off my itouch, which has heft for it size, still I was surprised with the sony. It feels very substantial.
I have a mac, which is why I dithered so long until Sony let us in. Even though it came with a disk, from reading here, I decided to download the software from the web. It worked perfectly (so far). I then checked out and downloaded some library books and they went immediately to the elib software. Beautiful! Wow. I then imported into the library some Pdfs I had and pdf of a knitting pattern. I am very interested to see how the knitting pattern works. This could be a very exciting little perk if it works.
So hello to everyone and thank you for all the information you have posted. It made my trying a new reader a real plug and play experience. Now if it would just finish charging.......
