A silly thought occurred to me out of the blue; Each model in the Sony Readers series can be compared to a Star Trek television series.

PRS-500 is like The Original Series: Boldly going...

PRS-505 is like The Next Generation: A well respected fan favorite

PRS-700 is like Enterprise: Didn't last very long, possibly due to lack of consumer interest

PRS-300 is like The Animated Series: Low budget, with less bells and whistles

PRS-600 is like Voyager: A sleek new look, with decent technological advancements. Yet many still prefer the previously mentioned fan favorite

PRS-900 is like Deep Space Nine: Quite different from the others, with the action being more centralized. Need I mention the "9" connection?

Note: Due to the high silliness content of this thread, I thought the Lounge would be a more appropriate home than the Sony forums. Also, this is in no way intended to put down any Sony Reader models in particular, as I think they're all great. Keep it sillly, please.
