Just jumped in!
Went to Target during my lunch break and picked up a PRS-505. Applied for NYPL membership yesterday so now I am chomping at the bit. The Baldacci book I am in the middle of is available at the NYPL so I need my card!!! LOL.
So now the device will charge until I am done for the day and then I can jump into setting it up this evening. Thanks to all of you for the help in the selection process. RA |

Do Target stores only carry the Silver Reader?

Congrats on your new toy! When I got mine I was about half way through 'Angels and Demons' by Dan Brown and was so enamored with the 505, I bought, downloaded and read the eBook version on the spot.
Be sure and let us know how you like it. |

You can join the DC library online and check books out right away but it's only a temporary card. (I don't live close enough to physically go to the library to activate.)

Hi Radamo,
I just gort my blue prs-505 (GO BLUE!!) yesterday and today I drove 3 hours to a nearby library with an extensive e-book collection so I can get my card. Of course my local library has a collection, but this one seemed to have a bigger one. I'm making the trip worth it and decided to make myself at home and get online while I'm here. I also see they have a book sale, so I will be checking that out. Then I need to find food and head home. Setting the prs-505 up was a piece of cake!! It took no time at all. I made my way through the sony library and even bought two books yesterday. I feel bad I have library books out right now that I'm trying to finish, so I didn't spend anytime reading books on my reader last night. I felt kinda guilty. Oh well. I have plenty of time. Have fun, Kelly |
