Very thin!!!CONS: Software that came with it doesn't work with x64 version of Vista. Workaround is to install it on a XP computer and dump the files over. You need to convert ALL your files (whether PDF, txt, word document) to the sony . LRF format. from Bhphotovideo.com Before I purchased Sony PRS 505 I used Pocket PC (FSC 550) to read electronic books. EInk display of 505 looks much like traditional paper and is very comfortable as compared to LCD display of Pocket PC. from Bhphotovideo.com I switched to PRS-505 from Ipaq PDA. Though a little bit slow in processing Sony is much better for reading, since my eyes do not get tired at all. from Bhphotovideo.com I found the Sony to be quite useful in holding many books, especially while traveling. It's wonderful not to have to carry the actual paper copies, and there are many titles to choose from through electronic sources. from Amazon.com A quick start/use guide could have been helpful 5. This product does not do any justice to the "SONY" label from Amazon.com I purchased this device directly from Sony. First, the good news - the Sony eReader is physically attractive, finely crafted and is a delight to read. from Amazon.com The Sony Reader PRS 505 has everything you want in a reader. The screen is not too small, the colors are perfect. from Amazon.com It's not just for e-books. With Sony's "eBook Library" or, my favorite software, Kovid Goyal's free (open source) "Calibre" on my computer, I've downloaded & converted thousands of free books (public domain), news feeds (rss), blogs, and html articles from hundreds of respected on-line sources. I use to download material to my laptop. from Amazon.com About six weeks ago I decided to invest in an eBook reader. I read the reviews for numerous readers before finally narrowing it down to either the Sony PRS-505, or the Amazon Kindle. I went with the Sony PRS-505 because it supported PDF files without any additional charge, and because it was less expensive then the Kindle. from Amazon.com The Sony PRS-505 is a great little gem that I purchased recently. I'll list out the pros and cons below: from Amazon.com
