A serious "book alternative" for new generation book lovers!

Date of Review:  Feb 16, 2009
The Bottom Line: It is a joy to use and gives infinite access to loads of (free) books on the internet. You may never have to buy a book again.
Review: Looking for a way to reduce luggage weight & size while traveling? Love to read, but run out of space of your bookcases? Looking for an digital book that doesn’t need charging every four hours?

A Great B'day Present w/Caveats

Date of Review:  May 10, 2008
The Bottom Line: The Sony Reader is best for ANYONE who reads a lot; portable, easy to learn, and holds 100s of books to read pretty much anywhere---highly recommended.
Review: This was a lovely birthday present this week! Despite many "mediocre" reviews on various websites, I have been quite pleased with my new Blue Sony Reader. I felt compelled to submit my $0.02 because I wanted to clear up one main thing that many...

All That Glisters Is Not Gold

Date of Review:  Feb 17, 2008
The Bottom Line: This baby looks like a million bucks, but there are significant limitations that prospective buyers need to consider carefully before shelling out US$300.
Review: AESTHETICS/PORTABILITY

Sexy and elegant, the Sony Reader Digital Book comes in space-age silver (model number: PRS-505/SC) or a sultry dark blue (model number: PRS-505/LC). A protective cover (in a non-descript tan shade) is included, but...

I?ve throw out my paper books!

Date of Review:  Jul 20, 2008
The Bottom Line: Buy PRS-505 and free your bookcase!
Review: My friends gift me Sony E-reader PRS-505 (silver case) and I've tested it for three weeks. Reader has important features for me: charging battery from USB cable, nice and sexy design, very small weight and new type of E-ink display that show text...

What a disappointment!!!

Date of Review:  Jul 29, 2008
Review: I thought this would be a neat thing to have. I own several other Sony products and love them. My first mistake was to buy one of these. The second was to opt for the personal engraving that Sony offers. Problem is, after 3 hours on the phone with...

Sony PRS505SC (silver) - Great for Readers!

Date of Review:  Feb 10, 2008
The Bottom Line: I recommend this for those who love to read eBooks or listen to audio books, although you can carry some music on it too.
Review: I received this model, in silver with tan leather cover, as a present. Sewn inside the cover at the corner are small magnets to keep the lid shut. Neat feature.
Although the PRS505 eBook Reader does read .pdf files, that's not it's main...

Great idea but limited readability

Date of Review:  Dec 22, 2007
The Bottom Line: I am selling mine. Most PDF books I tried cannot be magnified large enough to enable me to read them.
Review: The device is definitely well designed. It is portable, fit into my pants pocket and my coat as well. It takes a little getting used to at first. I like the fact that you can use two different types of memory to add to the capacity of the unit. I...

A Tale of Two Readers (Sony PRS-505 vs. Kindle 2)

Date of Review:  Mar 1, 2009
The Bottom Line: If you are comfortable installing software and using the computer the 505 is the best designed book reader now available. For everyone else take a look at the Kindle 2.
Review: Thanks to the excitement generated in 2007 by Amazon.com’s Kindle, eReaders are quickly becoming mainstream. The Sony PRS-505 (505), which actually pre-dates the original Kindle, shows how unfamiliar the product category was to the general public...
