Hello from new member

Hello folks. I just inherited a PRS-505 from my nice brother, my first encounter with an ereader. I never thought it would be as much fun as a book but it really is for other reasons entirely. I went to the web for some help on how to use it and stumbled upon Calibre. What a sweet utility that is. From there I hit upon this mobileread site and was very impressed with the content and helpfulness that was there. This is my first time ever on any site but I know I will be happy to come here often for the latest news, tips and general discussions. Alas, being new I am very green about how things work so it will take a little getting used to. Actually, it took some time to figure out how to introduce myself. For the geographically curious I live in Sunnyside, Newfoundland, Canada about 130 kms from the capital St. John's. That's it for now. I am not even sure what happens after I post this. Well, we'll see then.

Cheers

Hi blubberclubber and welcome to MobileRead. I've had a Sony 505 for over three years now and really like it.

Thanks cassidym. I'm still getting used to moving stuff around but it's getting there. I didn't realize how quickly you could forget that you were holding a device and not a real book. I also loaded up a local newspaper and liked that much better than the real thing. Still learning though.

And thanks for the Borges reminder in the salutation - I'm going to see if I can find the digital Book of Sand.

Good to have your company, BlubberClubber. Your 505 is a magnificent machine and partners beautifully with Calibre. It's out of production now, but it's quite telling that when one pops up in the Fea Market section of Mobile Read, it's snapped up in no time. Best wishes. Neil
