A new 505 on the block

Zorker · 12-07-2008, 10:17 PM

Purchased a blue 505 from a Sony Style store today and looking to learn a bit more from the great people around here as I learn my way around this new toy. I was smart enough, based on my research here, to download Calibre ahead of time so it was was ready to go when I brought my new reader home. I can see how valuable this tool is and will definitely be donating to support the development project! The instructions state that the Sony software won't play in an audio CD player, so maybe I'll use it as a frisbee.

I held off on buying a LightWedge right out of the gate until I see how I get on with my MightyBright clip-on that I've had for use with p-books. Lot's of questions at this point, most of which are answered around here through the wiki or forums so I'll try to read more than type!

Now the biggest decision: Continue reading the site to learn more or dive right into my planned reading!

Hi Zorker and welcome to the Forum. BTW, you've stumbled onto our dirty little secret here: That is spending more time on the MobileRead site than actually reading. But don't tell anybody
