Got mine!
Finally got my reader last night. I had planned on getting it at the local Borders, but they sold their last one two days ago. I ended up driving 20 minutes to the Sony Style store where they were supposed to be having a sale. The sale was over but I picked it up for $299, plus the insurance plan.
I just picked out my 100 titles from the store and although I couldn't redeem the HOLIDAYGIFT coupon, I emailed them to see if there was a way around it. Thanks to everyone on the forum who helped in my decision making. Now I need to look through the tips thread and start playing...and reading! |

Glad you got it. I really lucked out getting mine last week. I went into the Sony Store here in Northern VA and damn if they didn't have their window display 505's for sale at 40% off. I grabed one real quick and just love it.
be sure and let us know how you like it. |

Well only two days in and I absolutely love it. I need to get a better light for night reading because I am used to my Axim x50 at night but other than that it's great. I'm using libprs500 to manage everything and so far I've started with an initial list of about 90 titles that I am interested in reading (or re-reading).
One time, I almost mistook the think for an actual paper book and my hand went to the top corner to turn the page. It's a great technology, this e-ink! |

Yeah, information overload. I'm just going to Borders to see what they have in stock. I'll make due for now.

OK, then I am going to narrow down the choice for you to...
Bug light (for musicians) and Verilux. Read about them in aforementioned thread and learn about their advantages over LED lamps. |

Well I'm on the 2nd day with mine and I really love this device, I really enjoy this for reading. The "Flash" has pretty much gone away I don't notice it anymore. It's just so bright and clear and so much better than reading off the Axim I had. I can see my reading out put increasing because of it. The Size of the screen to me is just perfect I would'nt want anylarger, it really does feel like you are reading a Paperback, you forget you are reading on a device, which I guess is the biggest compliment you can give it.

You may also want to take a look at this thread. The Tensor Full Spectrum is another very nice option. I love mine.
