Proud owner of a PRS-505
Hi all,
Today I made up my mind... I went to the Sony shop... I held my breath... I handed out my credit card... and I bought a Silver PRS-505. It's a brilliant gadget |

you think the silver looks nicer but does it contrast against the text? I figured the dark blue would work better and less distracting. Just my opinion.

The thing that made me go with Silver was that I saw the demo models had scratches on them. They were not visible on the silver model but they were on the dark model... But I see what you mean in terms of contrast... I guess I'll have a better opinion after a few days of use .

I opted for the blue, because the funky cute girl at Borders told me the silver was ugly. Yeah - I know. A sucker for a pretty face.

I'm the proud owner of a silver one--had it a little over a week. I love it! I got it from Sony Rewards--used my Sony Rewards Visa enough over the last few years that I was able to get one as a "reward". I went with silver because it was the only color offered at Sony Rewards. I've been reading quite a bit on it--and I find it a pleasure to read on.

I went with the dark blue because the color seemed less faddish.

Blue seems to show a lot of finger smudges.

I have a silver one and my wife has a blue one. I think the blue one looks nicer just looking at the device, but once you start reading I don't notice a difference.

I think Sony was smart to offer both a dark blue and a light silver. Seems like most folks have a definite preference for one or the other.
