Am a silver surfer who has joined this forum to help me with my ebook reading.

Personally, I own a Sony PRS-505, and I love it.

I use Calibre to assist in my downloads as I find it an excellent converter.

I am just coming up to my 70th bithday and I enjoy both computers and ebook reading.

I used to travel over 100,000 miles a year and wished I had the opportunity of owning an ebook then. Instead I used to carry a few novels with me which can get heavy over a period of time.

Looking forward to reading my way through this forum.

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

With the 505 you can have a 2GB SD card that holds your books and can swap from one Sony to another. As its not on the net sony cannot know what you have on the device unlike the Kindle which knows which books are on your device as soon as you connect to your computer. I do not like the so called privacy on Amazon who can stop you accessing your downloads if they decide to pull a book off the list. Also all the books you "purchase" from Amazon do not belong to you.
