Anyone would like my sony 505?
I just bought it. It's new in the box, I tried it, but I find it too portable.
Would anyone like to trade it for their irex? Please pm me. |

Welcome to MobileRead, reader01.
![]() I'm not sure if you're joking or serious, though -- describing the Reader as "too portable" is what's confused me. ![]() |

hi, thank you for the welcome.
yes i am serious. what i mean by 'too portable' is it feels too small. when i try and read comics, i have to zoom in and press arrow keys to navigate the imagery. please let me know if you would like to make a trade, i can put it on ebay, and it will be a secured and safe process. thanks. |

Well ... trading a 640€ iLiad for a 350€ Sony Reader (assuming european prices) seems like a bad idea, wouldn't you agree?
Perhaps you could just offer your reader on the flea market / ebay / whatever, sell it and buy yourself an iLiad afterwards. Seems more logical (to my tired mind, that is). |

Maybe he means to trade his brand new 505 for a used Iliad... might seem more fair..

I think you'll be hard pressed to find an iLiad owner willing to part with his precious for something that's much smaller with less functionality. Good luck if you do though.

I would have been very tempted not too long ago, but since the Iliad now does mobipocket...
![]() btw, if the Sony 505 is so new, why don#t you just briong it back to to the store where you bought it? |

By the way, because you have used your 505, it is not brand new. It is slightly used. Once you open the box, the value for it drops.

375 of what? £375 is optimistic for an iLiad, €375 is hopeful, and $375 is probably unrealistic, even for a used one.

Given the price of the 505 in the US, I would say the value of it would be $200 used. It's too bad you paid $375 for it. But you'll only really get $200... maybe $250. But not more. And if you have registered it at Sony Connect and the $100 in classic books is gone, you'll really have to drop the price to $150 (at best) as you will have lost the buyer $100 in the Connect credit.
