Sony PRS-505 Reader Digital Book Portable eBook reader with 6" screen

Silver

Read your favorite eBooks, RSS web feeds, and even enjoy songs and photos while you're on the go. The slim, compact Sony Reader has an advanced 6" display that's exceptionally easy on your eyes, and its small size makes it the perfect travel companion — it's less than 1/2" deep and weighs nine ounces. A built-in 192-megabyte memory lets you store up to 160 eBooks. If you need more storage, pop an optional SD™ memory card or Memory Stick® Duo™ into the Reader's memory slot.

Convenient access to text files, MP3s, and more
Adding books to the Sony Reader is simple — install Sony's included software on your PC, purchase books online at eBook Store from Sony® and transfer the files to the Reader via your computer's USB port. You can also view Adobe® PDFs and other common types of text files. Review work documents, RSS news feeds and other web content while you're traveling or away from your computer. And the Reader functions as an MP3 player too, giving you another way to pass the time on a long flight or subway commute.

Easy readability and extended battery life
The highlight of this eBook reader is the specially designed 6" display screen. It uses E Ink® technology for a look that's almost paper-like; it's as clear and easy to read as a printed page. And this same technology makes the Sony Reader extremely energy efficient — the built-in rechargeable battery gives you up to 7,500 page turns with a single charge.
