Apparently they exchanged it and it's on it's way back to me! OMGosh, I'm so excited, I can't believe they exchanged it, no questiions asked! I paid $30 and it's already on its way back here. I'm astonished! I can't wait to get home from work!!!!!!!!!

JSWolf · 01-07-2010, 12:27 PM

WOW! Well done. Way to go Sony.

emonti8384 · 01-07-2010, 12:31 PM

I THINK I'M IN SHOCK!! I seriously can't believe they did that. Keep the fingers crossed, hopefully I don't get another and find that its all messed up. I know, I can't believe it!

You only paid $30?! I sent my reader back to Sony just before Christmas because the screen broke and they charged me $107 for the exchange! If you only paid $30 I am SO jealous.

In my experience, the refurbished Sonys are pretty good. Mine looks brand new - no scratches or pressed down buttons from overuse (minor problems on the reader I sent to them), and it runs just fine. I hope yours gets back to you soon!

Of course, you have to let us know as soon as you get it and open a book!

I'm getting home in an hour, I'll be racing to my front door (b/c naturally, UPS left it on my front porch

). Yes, I paid $30.49 for the exchange-was ur still coered under warranty? I've had mine since March of this year, don't know if that makes a difference.

Did they give you the same color you had? I forgot to take my screen protector off

but who cares, they cost $10. I was hoping I could get another blue one... I hope but who cares?!?!? It's my 505!!!! Who-hoo!!!!!!!

JuniperPearl · 01-07-2010, 05:18 PM

Ah, warranty. Forgot about that

No, my warranty expired - I've had my reader since 2007. They sent me the same color, but mine was silver. I hope you get a blue one!

emonti8384 · 01-07-2010, 06:37 PM

Nope, silver. Okay guys (and girls), moment of truth...

emonti8384 · 01-07-2010, 06:51 PM

So far, so good. Its weird tho, sometimes it will take FOREVER loading a book. Sometimes it shuts down and when it restarts it's at the main menu but I lose whatever progress I made with any other book I was reading-pages numbers, bookmarks. Same thing for the font changes, sometimes it works and sometimes it shuts the reader off. It takes forever loading no matter what but the pages aren't messing up when the books actually open-it's just getting the book to open. Only have 7 books on the reader, and am not using a memory card. I am reading LRF format, as the LRX does not work and epub looks so...eww. I wonder what it is, I remember it doing this when I had a bunch of books on it, but even when I was using my memory card (which has about 175 books) it was never this slow loading. I wonder if it's something I'm doing with my books when I convert them over or if it's the reader. I don't have this problem reading on my 600, but I read the LRX formats; don't know if that makes a difference. Is this happening a lot, or is it normal? It seems like ever since they starting switching things there have been a lot of complications but that's to be expected.

Who gives a flying blue poop!!?? I have my 505 back!!!!

Any thoughts on the slow loading? Doesn't really matter too much but since I'm impatient if there's a way to fix it......

Thanks!!
