You're welcome! I'm glad it's going to a good home and I didn't have to put it on Craigslist!

Maybe I will defect also
For right now, I am very happy with my PRS-505.

Phoenix during monsoon season can feel a bit tropical. Except for the massive dust storms that fill your pool with mud.
The desert is a beautiful place. Too bad it's so darn hot! That's why I "defected" from Tempe back to San Diego after four sweltering summers in the Valley of the Sun. I do miss the lightning and rain of monsoon season. I also saw some of the most beautiful sunrises and sunsets there. I remember one sunset where I stood outside my car (in Ahwatukee) looking at the sky for several minutes thinking that I had never seen that shade of blue ever in my life and didn't want to miss a single second. Oh, and by the way, my K2 will be here by Friday so, although I'm keeping my 505 also, I'll enjoy the benefits of both readers. And if the K2 font size is larger than my 505, the K2 will likely become the preferred reader of my aging eyes. |

Speaking as someone who owns both a 505 and a K2, but lacks access to the Sony bookstore because I use a Mac, I figure maybe it might be a good idea to think of the devices using thought experiments.
So here's a couple: (1) Suppose that the 505 had access to the Amazon Kindle store, and could wirelessly purchase, download and read K formatted books. On those terms, which would be the better ebook device? (2) Suppose that the K2 lacked wireless purchasing and downloading. Would the Sony bookstore and other purchasing options, taken together, be better than what Amazon offers in terms of availability of recently published books, and price? |

Given that I do not own a Sony, or Kindle and I do not live in the US
From what I have read in this thread -the Sony reader seems far and away more versatile and cost effective for US residents. You can access many free sites and *public library ebooks* - this seems to be a great advantage.
Apparently, one can subscribe to electronic public library sites - and check out ebooks over the Internet! And then - if you must have the latest bestseller - buy from the Sony store (or other online store). The Kindle (2) seems to be faster (whispernet) and easier(?) - but you must purchase your books from the Amazon-Kindle-store at 9,99$ each - which can really add up. Even I (being employed full-time) read 1-2 books a week. I can envision the costs mounting up very quickly. |
