hi everyone! I <3 my silver sony 505

hello! Another new owner here...

let me tell you my story....(*thought bubble going into air above head*)

it all started at the beginning of 2009, when I started complaining to my boyfriend about how I love to read but not having enough room to store all my books. "Have you ever heard of ereaders? Maybe you should get one!", he said.

I instantly looked them up on the internet and was amazed at their beauty and, well, just the whole concept...however, it was not meant to be. Once converted to $A, it was ridiculously out of my price range.

Then, a few weeks ago, I decided to revisit that idea....and for some reason, the price seemed more reasonable this time round!! It was a toss up between the Sony and the Bebook, but Sony won in the end (from endless reviews I read).

I realised right before my dad was due to leave London to come home from a business trip that they sold them in the UK!! So my dad returned today and brought me my new shiny silver sony 505!

This is the first time I have seen or held a reader in real life and damn, it is absolutely stunning!! The screen is amazing!!



I already have put in an order for a borsabella case

Yay for technology!! I look forward to annoying you all with my countless newbie questions!!

Hi Radish,

I love my sony 505 too

If you have any questions just ask - we've all done it and people here are helpful!

Also have a look at the ebook uploads forum where there are lots of free books to download and the wiki where there's information about other sources of free books and shops to buy more books if you need them.

Enjoy your reader.

It's a sideways heart, HarryT.

For full disclosure, I had to look at it for a little while to decypher the heart. All those years trying to figure out my kids drawings finally came in handy, I guess.

Hi Radish and welcome to MobileRead. Congrats on your great new toy. Shame about the color though...Blue is better.

And, BTW, you will never annoy this crowd with questions. Even the silver owners are patient and endlessly helpful.

Congrats on your new gadget. You were really lucky to have gotten the Silver Sony.

I'm the proud owner of the silver myself, and I love it.

I'm sure you'll enjoy yours tremendously.
