I had read about e-ink many years ago and thought it was a wonderful concept. I heard about the Sony PRS-500 and others but the Sony was the only one sold in a US store. So one day my wife and I went to a Boarders and saw one. After playing with the demo unit for a few moments she said, "You'd better get it." (She knows me very well.) I have never looked back. (While the 505 does have a better screen, it was not better enough for me to want to trade up.)

I used to off and on peruse MR. I read something about The Sony Librie, but didn't didn't quite understand it. So I kept coming back to MR more often, then heard about the PRS 500. But it wasn't until the CC offer that I took the bait--and I've been a happy chummy ever since.

Read about the technology, afterwards longed for a reader with touchscreen and another one for recreational reading.
So far just didnt have the money *sigh* (at least for the touchscreen - the Sony I got ) |
