Sony Reader Digital Book PRS-505/RC, Sangria Red

I love this product. I had checked other similar products, and felt that this would be the best for me. Walmart had the best price! I love to read and have run out of room for hard copy books. I don't put "classics" on this, just books I want to read once. My only complaint is that, if you have strong security on you computer, the firewall will prevent the successfull loading of program and access to the ebook store. I had to load everything on my laptop rather than my home computer. Other than that, it's fantastic!

Like alot of people I like to read and I have a lot of books that I end up having to store. Now I am running out of space and I want to get rid of my bookcase and books. As far as I'm concerned the Sony Reader is an excellent source when you have limited income and constantly reading a book. Now I can download my books from e-books and don't have to worry about storing anything.

I absolutely love this product. Meets all my expectations. I especially love the fact that I can download Ebooks from my public library. Beats being tied in to Kindle and Amazon all the time.

the best investment i have bought yet, saves space in your apartment since you don't have to buy paper books, also it helps to save our trees, these should be requirments for schools,

Iam very happy with this product,it maintains a really good charge, i just wish it had a built in light,for the cost of it anyway, the only thing that confuses me is that when i turn a page the screen flashes about 2 times before it goes to the new page,is that normal?either way,i love it!!!!

What a great product! It is user friendly, and so convenient. I recommend this product to those who enjoy reading.

I have had my ebook reader for about 3 weeks now and I love it. The battery seems to last a very long time and it is very nice to be able to carry many books at one time. I just hope all books are made available this way. This is the only way I will be reading my books from now on. This would be great if my daughters college books were available this way, too.

My recomendation to buy t his product is only for an avid reader.

The screen was clear, it held a sufficient amount of data, and for the function which it was advertised, it is a good product - BUT - I returned it.

In trying to find eBooks for it, I was faced with Sony or Sony or Sony, and didn't find the book I wanted (big turn off).

In addition, I have very little time to read for pleasure, so it takes me a long time to get through a book. Finding out that some books expire after a time, really turned me off the the whole eBook concept. Maybe when I retire it will be worth while.

All of my comments have to be considered in context though - Whic is:

I dedicated only a day to finding eBooks. I know that Amazon has them, but I was looking for a particular title. I went to a couple of National chain book stores, and the blank stares preceding the " No we don't carry them", kind-of told me that this was a nitch type of thing.

As for the concept - I like it, and plan to jump in again when I get more time. The idea of being able to carry several books with no more effort than carrying a single book (or device) is very appealing to me.

Bought this as a gift for my wife because she is always reading (and I'm running out of room for the books that have been purchased). I was very surprised at the ease of use. The books are very easy to download. The unit itself does more than just hold books. It also holds music so you can listen to your tunes while your reading. It has a number of other things that it does also. You'll be very happy with this purchase. I highly recommend this to anyone.
