Hello from the French Alps
I'm looking to buy an ebook reader, having seen a demo of the Sony Reader 505 I've been very interrested.
Now I'm trying to catch with the ebook eco-system and to find the best reader for me.

Regards,
Jerry

Hi Jerry and welcome to MobileRead. I've had a Sony 505 for over a year now and am very pleased with it.

Hi Jerry and welcome!

I've had my 505 for 2 months now and I can't imagine life without it.

Are you by any chance a Michael Moorcock fan?

It seems there is a lot of Sony 505 happy users out there. This is one of the readers I'm interested in as it is available in France, in fact it's the only one I've been able to see and test in a shop. This has sparked my interest in eBook readers.

I'm also looking to the Cybook Gen3 and waiting for the soon-to-come firmware update before deciding...
