Editorial Review:

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.

- She LOVES it
I got this for my wife or Christmas, and she has rarely put it down since. She originally wanted the Kindle, but the only difference between the 2 products was that one being on a wireless network that does not work at our house ( I didn't find that aggravation worth the $100 + difference in price). She is able to quickly ... Read More

- My wait is over...
The PRS-505 is a great gift for a tech savvy bibliophile. The form factor and display clarity make for an excellent reading experience in office and outdoor lighting. It's a gray scale only reader and not the fastest text reader available. Still, it displays PDF files well, has fine battery life, and reads from SD-cards (and ... Read More
