I finally got a PRS-505
I got my Sony PRS-505 late last week from JandR.com. It was the least expensive net price and I usually get stuff from them in 2-3 days. I got a surprise; when I authorized it with the eBook store, I got an error that the reader was already authorized. Reauthorization only took a couple of mouse clicks, so no big deal. Later, I found a directory with about 50 books that appear to be Mobi with DRM. Physically, the reader looks brand new, but I am sure it is used!
Is this a common practice? Norm |

I thought about that, but physically, my 505 was perfect. I deleted the extra files, reauthorized the reader, and loaded some books. You know the old saying, "A bird in the hand is worth two in the bush..."
