I wasn't even aware that dedicated ebook readers existed until about 6 months before the Sony 505 came out. I knew about ebooks, but only to the extent that they could be read on a computer screen or a PDA. Neither option appealed to me.

I lost a lot of ebook reading time before I found out about the Sony 500, and I blame the lack of advertising for that. I was totally in the dark about how far the technology had gone.

Yes, I think Sony needs to do some advertising. Yes, yes, yes.
