I've been almost tempted to get a PRS-505 for library books but there just aren't enough titles to convince me and I know I would find the lack of search and dictionary lookup annoying. If I read romances I'd be all over it since that seems to be what my library has the most of. So far I've managed to get quite a few good books in Mobipocket but it seems the newer additions are overwhelmingly Adobe. I'm in wait-and-see mode. If another device that I like better comes out with Adobe DRM support, I'll jump on it. I'm hoping to get a larger format reader at some point anyway that will handle PDF for my tech books.

Thanks. I missed the Oprah deal, but a co-worker told me it was the best thing since sliced bread. She was right. The samples did it for me. And the fact that I am used to going to Amazon for book purchases. But having a back up sounds like a good idea.

I had $100 gift certificate from my birthday. Like I stated in the post, I was able to take $150 off with the gift certificate and the Oprah coupon. Since the $100 was given to me, the $209 did not look as bad as $359.
