Product Description:
The new Reader (model PRS-505) features a svelte body design. Re-styled controls more closely mimic paper page turns and allow for quick, intuitive navigation.A next-generation electronic paper display delivers faster response and a higher contrast ratio for easy reading even in bright sunshine. Eight levels of gray scale provide for crisp and clear text, images, and graphics.This device is designed for people on the go, this device is compelling because it allows them to carry a wide variety of reading materials whether they are on a cross-country flight, in a doctor's office waiting room, or at a beach resort. The Reader can handle a stack of books and other documents that people would rather not carry, yet offers a 'book-like' reading experience unavailable with other electronic devices.With the capacity to store up to 160 typical eBooks, the Reader can act as a mobile library. Expansion slots for Memory Stick Duo media or SD memory cards make the device's library potential practically limitless.More advanced users will appreciate the USB-based mass storage capability that allows them to use the device as a portable drive for the direct transfer of documents, images and other files to the Reader. A new auto sync feature also lets users set up folders with books and documents that can be automatically synchronized when the device is connected to a PC.

Rating:  - PDF Problems? No way
I was concerned that I wouldn't like the reader because I love the feel of a book in my hands. Call me vain, but I also like seeing all the books I've read in my bookcase, it feels like an accomplishment. As far as books go I decided to buy this product because I love classic and you can get those, mostly, for free from various website - plus sony is offering 100 free classics with registration right now. I also decided that the cost of buying a used book online, with shipping, would equal about ... Read More

Good product, very slim and portable. I like the fact that you can upload PDF documents, musics,and pbotos (although only in B& W).
Some limitations, on works on Windows base systems and only takes Sonny music format.
However, as a student it's awesome for taking your notes or lectures with you in PDF format.
Sonny should broaden their horizon and open the sourcing to Mac and mutilple mp3 formats.The kindle gives this a run for the money with the ability ... Read More

Rating: - Enjoyable gadget
The good:
- Crispy display
- Simple
The bad:
- Crashed on me several times when tried to open a book (did not always crash again when reopened the same book after the boot)
The ugly:
- PDF does not look so great.
- No html view - I had to use calibre (which is great) to convert, not with 100% success.
- I wish the file format was open standard.
Rating: - Sony PRS 505
I read the other reviews and thought I would add my thoughts.
I chose the Sony over Kindle because of its ability to import other file formats such PDF and Word without having to go through a converter and pay a fee such as Kindle.I can download technical manuals from companies such EMC and IBM at no change and have them at my finger tips when I need them.I also get free books from the gutenburg project online.
I read a lot - research at work on the PC as well as magazines and ... Read More
