When you bought PRS-505 did you...
When you bought PRS-505 did you give your PRS-500 to your significant one (wife/husband/gf/bf)?
I am very curious how many of us have done it. |

Yes. Although I was going to get her the 505 and mod it to handle Russian books. But flashing the 505 was too risky, so she got the 500 and I have the 505! Last edited by DrMoze; 01-11-2008 at 03:39 PM. |

The same here.
Although, I am not sure that my other half will really read books. She didn't read for a dozens years. I really hope that the reader will attract her because I can get almost any book in Russian for her. I really enjoy when both of us are sitting and reading We will see... |

Sort of the opposite. I bought our first 505 for my wife and I liked it enough that she bought one for me!

Nice poll structure. Always good to have two choices in a yes-or-no-type question; "yes", and "N/a." Perhaps this was a playful, joking poll...if not...ya might want tas read s'mo' e-booksizzles. Yesssssssssssss.

I asked my wife today in the morning how she feels about the reader.
She said she really likes it. The major factor is simplicity of use of a reader. As she said - it is not a computer! (despite a couple of degrees she has a trouble understanding folder-tree navigation idea). Basically, all she has got to do is to switch it on, turn pages froward/backward and switch it off. Whenever she turns the reader on, it opens on the page she finished reading last time. She finds it very convenient. I am more than happy that she takes a liking of the reader If she keeps on reading and Sony comes to the UK in April, maybe I will convince her that we should buy 505 for her because I believe its screen is easier on eyes if you don't have a good light source (or maybe our friend goes to the USA and can bring one for us thus avoiding additional costs(I think it might convince her )). P.S. Although I believe PRS-500's navigation buttons would be better for her. There is an audible click when you press menu button and some other buttons, while in PRS-505 buttons pressing buttons is not as obvious. Last edited by astra; 01-13-2008 at 11:07 AM. |

I agree, the poll structure should read " yes-no-N/A "

It depends on a purpose of a poll.
When I was creating this poll, all I wanted to know is how many people have done this. I wanted to create a poll with only 1 option (just to see the number of people who have done it.) So, basically any other option was irrelevant. It was teachnically impossible to create such poll, so I added second option as Not Applicable. Either you have given your old 500 to your other half or - you didn't for a dozens different reasons or - you could not do it because for example JSWolf's wife already had one. So, in my opinion N/A has encompassed all the other reasons. |

There needs to be a No answer. Neither of the answers fits with a lot of situations. Some people sold their 500 and did not give it to someone else. So N/A would be for people who never had a 500 or did not give it away.

I disagree. I think the buttons are fine. I never have an issue knowing when I pressed a button.
