I have joined the e-Ink revolution

Lemurion · 03-24-2009, 11:29 PM

I finally bought a Sony Reader. I paid $275 (after tax) for a PRS-505 at the local Books-A-Million and I'm already loving it.

It would have been nice to get a different color, but that's what skins are for. I already have a PSP charger (cost $4.45) and it's happily charging.

Hey, there's nothing wrong with the sleek original silver.

(My next one will be red, though).

Glad you're loving it. check out the decalgirl skins.

Awesome! Congratulations!

You are only cool if you bought blue. (just kidding)

Glad to see you finally took the plunge.

Just recently bought a silver 505 for my girlfriend.

Wow, it only took a year and half for you to be swayed. Pushover.

Lemurion · 03-25-2009, 01:12 AM

Well the real trick was having the cash and not having the bills hit at the same time.

Congrats on your Reader!!! It's always nice to have new toys

Smart buy on the PSP charger.. saved a lot with that choice.
Hummmm.... have you checked out the local chapter of Sony Readers? I think moejoe mentioned the name... SOSSR (Society of Oblivious Silver Sony Readers

)

Just goes to show that he's no pushover at all.

I'm anxiously awaiting the delivery of mine. I thought the hours went slow last night, now the minutes feel like an eternity. Every so often I'll run to the door thinking someone has knocked, but it's just the high winds rattling the knocker.

Welcome to our secret organization of E-INK owners.

I hope you will enjoy your new reader!
But why the heck do you want to join the SOSSO? The SOBSR is much ... well ... much more blueish and it's more eclusive because it's harder to pronounce "SOBSR" than "SOSSO".

LOL - I spoke too soon. I have to take it back, discovered a bright shiny new bill waiting for me this morning.

Oh well - I paid for part of it with a gift card so I can save that money for when more comes in and I can actually get one to keep.

Awww.

I admire your financial discipline. I hope you can get another one soon.

That's ok, you didn't really want the silver one anyway.
