Sooooo... after reading mgmueller thread (who hasn't), I got "infected" (and again, who hasn't

) and decided to order the PRS-300 in pink. Beware, this will be a longer post. I cannot do short.

I have an opus, which is my first reader, and I love it, but so does my husband and it ends up being hijacked all the time. I was not impressed by the pics I saw on the web of the PRS-505, but many here were praising it, so I actually went to a shop to have a non-virtual look and foremost feel at it. Loved it, but wasn't sure about the colour. They only sell silver ones in Germany.

(can you now feel this is going to be a post very much like: I like this pair of high heels, because it is cute and red, but I like this pair too, because it is cute and pink, so I'll buy both ?)

Found a red one on the web, it arrived pretty quickly and I must say I totally fell in love. But ... can't take it in all my handbags, only in some. Nevermind, would you think, and of course you would be wrong, because this is not the way it goes

.

So, to cut a long story short

, I ordered a PS-300 - in pink, if you by now have not understood it, go back to the beginning of the post and re-read it - and of course can't wait for it to be here. The 300 will be "for the road", the 500 for home.

Well that was it really. It is Labor Day, so it won't ship today. I am sorry about it, so I decided to have my own pity party. There you go.

I am silly, I now
