Hi Everyone

Greetings from Canada.

I got my Sony 505s for Christmas and I absolutely love it. I wasn't sure I would but I love the fact that I can take a mini library with my everywhere I go. I saw the Kindle on Oprah origianlly and wanted that but wouldn't trade my sony for anything. I'm looking to get the light for it so I am able to read it at night or in the car. I have the AC adapter for it but I don't find it works very well.
This is a wonderful spot to find any questions I have on my sony and just to see what everyone else is reading.

HAPPY READING

Hi christy, I also have a 505 and love it! With all the free books available here I definitely have about a year's reading on it now.

If you're looking for a light then this thread might help ... but I'm sure there are lots of other threads in the Sony forum about lights.

Hi christy and welcome to MobileRead.

Many PRS-505 owners use the light wedge and seem happy with it and others have gone to a less expensive clip-on solution as suggested by ruth.

If you have any other questions, just ask.

Again, welcome to MR from Vancouver.

Hi christy and welcome to MobileRead. When you say your AC Adapter isn't working well, what is the problem? I have one and it seems to work fine. Perhaps Sony sold you a defective one.

I think so too. It charges ok, but when you go to use it, it is very slow. I end up having to reset my e reader every time. I'm taking it back to Sony and see what they say. Other than that I love everything about it.

You sound just like me, except I got my 505 a few months earlier

I felt the same way though

I just use a regular old book light type thing that I hold. Sometimes in my teeth. Someday I'll shell out for a good light, but for now...

Welcome to the board!

Hi Christy,

Welcome to the forums. I have had my 505 for about 2 months now and I got the lightwedge soon after. I love my 505 and, though I should've waited awhile to buy an ereader, I am so happy to find one. I enjoy reading contemporary Fiction and Romance and have loved all the free books from eharlequin and the library. Hope you enjoy your reader!

Greetings Christy! Here's a link to my post in the other thread regarding my recent 505 purchase and light slution that works for me. Good luck with you search!

Oops, don't know how to do link. Here's the post:
"I ended up picking up the MightyBright ExtraFlex2 light yesterday and I think my dreams have come true. I really love my 505 now!!! I used the light in bed while my husband slept and the light didn't bother him a bit. My old stand alone Lightwedge did and he commented when I tried the Sony Cover/Lightwedge that it was like a searchlight beacon in the room. I clipped the MightyBright ExtraFlex2 light on the top right corner of the cover, pointed the light towards the left to illuminate the screen, and used the lower of the 2 light settings - PERFECTION!! The neck is long and flexible enough to move so that there is absolutely no glare on the page.

Very happy with my choice of reader, light and current ebook!"
