• So many books, so little time.
  This product is great. Hands down.
  It only took me a few minutes to get a real feel for it, once the zoom and reference angle were correct I was in love. I own thousands of books and many have been read and reread hundreds of times.

• Very disappointed!
  I'm very disappointed with Sony PRS-505/LC Blue Digital Book Reader:

  I would NOT recommend to purchase this product. Much better just to add $200 to buy a laptop and have much more.

Did you know, using a free program called Calibre eBook Management, you can even download newspapers to your reader, free of charge!!

Since hitting middle age and having to wear bifocals I've found reading real paperbacks much slower over the last few years. The Sony Reader has got me back up to speed. Even at the small font size I zip right through the pages and when I'm a... more info
