Hi Lambs_Bread and welcome to MobileRead. I've had a Sony 505 since Jan 08 and really like it. Most members here will tell you Calibre is superior to the bundled Sony software.

And you are so right about the portability an eBook reader gives you. I especially like it when I'm traveling or on vacation. For example, we're going to South America in late December and I plan to download and read the new Steven King book. I saw it in the bookstore yesterday and the thing is HUGE. It's 1000 pages and must weight close to three pounds but it won't take up much space on my reader.
