I'm an avid reader and also have do quite a bit of traveling. The Sony E-Book is a good alternative to taking several books on every trip. It can hold over 100 books so I'm never without something to read.
I wanted a device to read books on, in the event I'm deployed again or sent TDY. The Sony PRS-505 is great! I turned it on the moment I received it and was amazed at the clarity of the screen.
fact that there are only a few buttons. The librarian software that is installed on the PC is a bit clumsy, but I don't think I will ever need to use it. In Windows, The SONY Reader appears as a "removable storage" device, and you can simply drag&drop electronic books from the PC to the SONY reader.
it takes some time getting used to it, and especially i missed "holding the book and flipping the pages" feeling, but after couple short weeks i ended up loving my e-book.

pdf files appeare with very little letter so it's better to just use doc or txt formats.
it is thin, relatively light weight and the size of the whole gadget is very close to the size of the readable area (which is good !).
the buttons to flip the pages are a little small on the right and it has page flip buttons on the lower left.
there is no internet feature, but i bought it to read books not browse the web.
i don't think this is a problem because is very easy to convert those files to any other format.
